Caroline Wozniacki finishes strongly to reach the second round in Sweden

Top seed Caroline Wozniacki needed three sets to overcome Pauline Parmentier 6-3 3-6 6-2 in the first round of the Ericsson Open.

Wozniacki, a finalist in Bastad in 2009, recovered from an early break to take the opening set but was soon struggling in the second as Parmentier, fresh from a quarter-final run at last week's Bucharest Open, won five games on the spin to take it into a decider.
