Caroline Wozniacki will become one of the more unlikely year-end world No 1s if she wins two matches at the WTA championships, which start on Tuesday. Eli Manning Jersey . Little considered only 18 months ago and from a nation of only five million people, Wozniacki has climbed steadily to a position from which she should earn the 2010 accolade during the womens season-end tournament. After the 20-year-old Dane first reached the top earlier this month she said: This is a really big step for me - it doesnt feel like its real. Her words tempted some critics to suggest that it isnt. They suggested that the real No 1 is Serena Williams, who has been restricted by injury to only 13 tournaments, and that Kim Clijsters, a mum, has played only 14, while super-fit Wozniacki has had the advantage of battling through 23. Some point out that Wozniacki has yet to capture a Grand Slam title. Instead, she is the third woman in the last two years, after Jelena Jankovic and Dinara Safina, to reach No 1 without winning a major. Others are unimpressed with Wozniackis style of play, which has been described as too defensive, though she believes that perception is misleading. She is in the process of constructing an unflashy, multi-faceted game, enabling her to play in a disruptively complex fashion and to adapt to different opponents and conditions. Even without the crash-bang-wallop impact of the Williams sisters or other leading players, Wozniackis style is arguably more sophisticated than she is given credit for. It is certainly effective, having gained her six titles this year. And if Wozniackis game does not inspire awe, her photogenic good looks and outgoing personality have attracted admiration and increased her marketability. These qualities helped attract several sponsorships - Adidas, Babolat, Sony Ericsson, Danske Invest, Europaeiske, and e-boks among them - while her playing ability has brought 12 titles altogether and about $5 million in prize money. AFP San Francisco 49ers Mike Iupati Jersey . Nadal cruised past eighth-seeded Fernando Verdasco 6-3, 6-3, improving to 8-0 against his fellow Spaniard. He will play 12th-seeded Fernando Gonzalez, who struggled past Argentine qualifier Juan Monaco 2-6, 6-3, 6-4. Jets Keller Jersey . The Tigers set season-highs for hits on back-to-back nights, pounding Texas pitching for 20 hits on Tuesday night in an 8-1 victory over the AL West-leading Rangers. Premier Mark Sanchez Jersey . Recchi, 41, was added to Kobasews line with centre Patrice Bergeron in the very first game he played with the Bruins, and the trio has since become a formidable checking line. Authentic A.J. Green Jersey . Quite often the lower placed team beats the higher seeded team. If the Montreal Canadiens are going to have a chance against the Boston Bruins then theyve got to do, to some degree what they did in the final regular season matchup between the two teams. Pittsburgh Steelers Jersey .C. -- Over nine seasons as coach of the Carolina Panthers, John Fox has made it a point to hide his emotions behind an avalanche of cliches, guarded answers and a tough guy persona. Links of London Watches UK . Per team policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed. Tatis, the National League Comeback Player of the Year in 2008, hit .297 with 11 homers and 47 RBI for the Mets. New York Giants Phillips Jersey . Fred Lewis finished with two hits and an RBI for the Giants, who won for the second time in their last six. Sergio Romo (1-1) picked up the win by holding San Diego off the board in the ninth. Offical Links of London Earrings . Diaz, a Houston native, fought the last 10 rounds with a bloody cut over his left eye. But the hometown crowd cheered every punch Diaz landed, and Malignaggi thought that swayed the judges. PESHAWAR, Pakistan: Two suicide car bombs killed 16 people and wounded about 150 others in separate attacks in northwestern Pakistan on Saturday, just days after the Taliban warned suicide strikes were coming if the military pressed forward with an offensive. A third bomb injured four in the restive region. Pakistans mountainous, lawless northwest region along the Afghan border -- where the government holds little control -- is a favored area for insurgents to plan attacks on US and NATO troops in Afghanistan, as well as on Pakistani security forces and government workers. Smoke blow up after a bomb explosion in a commercial district in Peshawar, Pakistan on Saturday, Sept. 26, 2009. [Agencies] A suicide bomb was detonated outside a bank affiliated with the army in Peshawar, the capital of North West Frontier Province, police said. Ten people were killed and 79 wounded, said Sahibzada Mohammed Anis, a senior government official. An Associated Press reporter at the scene saw vehicles overturned by the blast, buildings gutted and glass scattered everywhere. Most of the casualties were customers in the bank or people loitering outside. We saw body parts in the car and our investigation confirms it was a suicide attack, said Malik Shafqat, a police official in Peshawar. He said the attacker also threw a hand grenade before detonating the bomb but it didnt explode. A suicide blast also hit a police station in the provinces Bannu district earlier Saturday, killing at least six people and wounding nearly 70 others, police said. The Taliban claimed responsibility for that attack. A third bomb exploded in the northern town of Gilgit, wounding four people, Pakistans SAMA news channel quoted local police Chief Ali Sher as saying. He described it as a low-intensity bomb but provided no further details. The latest strikes came two days after the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan said it was ready to stage more suicide attacks in the region after it was ousted from the Swat Valley in July by an army offensive. Qari Hussain Mehsud -- known for training Taliban suicide bombers -- warned of more attacks in an AP interview at a secret location iin North Waziristan on Thursday, just hours before US missiles hit the area and killed 12 people.

The US has fired dozens of missiles from unmanned drones to take out top Taliban and al-Qaida leaders in the northwest over the past year. Although Pakistan routinely protests the strikes, it is widely believed to secretly cooperate with them. A CIA drone attack felled former Pakistani Taliban chief Baitullah Mehsud on Aug. 5. Qari Hussain Mehsud phoned the AP to claim responsibility for the police station attack Saturday. We have broken the silence as the government did not understand the pause in attacks, and from now there will be an increase in the number of suicide bombings, he said. He urged civilians to stay away from police and security force installations. Taliban attacks surged in the region last week. Militants ambushed a convoy of prominent anti-Taliban tribal elders in Bannu district on Thursday, spraying their cars with gunfire and killing nine people. Pakistani authorities have urged tribal elders to speak out against the Taliban, and in turn the militants have killed scores of local leaders. North West Frontier Provinces information minister, Mian Iftikhar Hussain, said the attacks would not deter the government from fighting militants. He said security forces had arrested 40 would-be suicide bombers in recent months in the northwest, thwarting efforts by the Taliban to create chaos. It is not only our duty ... to fight this menace of terrorism, it is a responsibility of the whole world, Hussain told reporters in Peshawar. We are on the front line today, thats why our blood is being shed. ' ' '
