    Caroline Wozniacki wrapped up the year-end No. 1 ranking Thursday after rallying to beat Francesca Schiavone 3-6, 6-1, 6-1 at the WTA Championships.

    The 20-year-old from Denmark is the 10th woman to end the season on top and the youngest since Martina Hingis in 1997. She replaced the injured Serena Williams at the top earlier this month and has won more titles (six) and more matches (61) than any other player in 2010.

    "It's really great, that is something I've dreamed about since I was a little girl," she said of the No. 1 ranking. "I'm really happy, really proud about what I've achieved this year."

    Wozniacki qualified for the semifinals in second place behind Vera Zvonareva in the Maroon Group. Kim Clijsters and Samantha Stosur have qualified from the White Group but will meet each other on Friday to decide who finishes first and plays Wozniacki in the last four.
