(October 25, 2010) Caroline Wozniacki has already come out swinging—and dancing— as the youngest woman in the top 10 aims to eradicate memories of her painful 2009 exit from the WTA Championships. The new World No. 1 will put her legs and swings to work tomorrow as she faces a tough test in the form of Elena Dementieva in her opening match of the WTA Championships.

The $4.55 million, round-robin tournament begins tomorrow. 

Wozniacki, Dementieva, French Open champion Francesca Schiavone and French Open finalist Samantha Stosur head the Maroon Group. 

Reigning US Open champion Kim Clijsters, who will make her first appearance since defeating Vera Zvonareva to collect her third US Open crown last month, two-time major finalist Zvonareva, former World No. 1 Jelena Jankovic and Victoria Azarenka, fresh off her run to the Kremlin Cup title in Moscow yesterday, form the White Group.

World No. 2 Zvonareva faces Jankovic in the opening White Group match. The pair have split 12 career meetings with Zvonareva winning the last three times they've played.

Wozniacki, who has won a WTA Tour-best six titles this season, joins Dinara Safina and Jankovic as the third woman in recent years to ascend to the World No. 1 rank without winning a Grand Slam championship. 

The 20-year-old Dane can take a step toward validating her prominent place at the top of tennis by winning the season-ending Championships, which wrap up their run in Doha this week before moving on to Istanbul for a three-year stay starting next October. 

Wozniacki is 4-3 lifetime against Dementieva, rallying to win both of their meetings this season in three-set struggles. Wozniacki edged Dementieva, 1-6, 6-3, 7-6(5) in the New Haven semifinals in August then defeated Dementieva, 1-6, 6-2, 6-3 in the Tokyo final earlier this month. 

Wozniacki took time out from tennis and hung out with older brother Patrik in Copenhage...
