World number one Caroline Wozniacki shrugged off the distraction of a long rain delay and the threat of Hurricane Irene to win the New Haven WTA title for the fourth year in succession.The top-seeded Dane defeated Czech qualifier Petra Cetkovska 6-4, 6-1 to boost her confidence ahead of the US Open which starts on Monday (August 29).The final was moved forward by four hours to avoid the expected arrival of Hurricane Irene and then interrupted by more than an hour and a half because of rain after the first set.Wozniacki said: Its a great feeling, its a great confidence to be in and I cant believe Ive already been here four times and won it four times. Its an amazing feeling and Im so happy to be in this position.Wozniacki, 21, has now won 18 WTA titles including six this year but has yet to lift a grand slam crown although she was a finalist at the US Open two years ago.
