NEW YORK: Maria Sharapova was knocked out of the US Open by Caroline Wozniacki on Sunday, leaving the women's draw with just two of its top eight seeds while Roger Federer made the most of heavy rain to make the last-16.

Five-time Grand Slam champion Sharapova -- the 2006 title winner in New York -- was defeated by Danish 10th seed Wozniacki with the 2009 runner-up claiming a deserved 6-4, 2-6, 6-2 triumph on a steamy Arthur Ashe Stadium court to reach the quarter-finals.
