Roland Garros runner-up Karolina Muchova (Czech Republic) advanced to the third round of the US Open. The 10th-seeded Czech tennis player needed only 80 minutes to succeed with 2-0 (6:3, 6:3) over Magdalena Frech (Poland).
Karolina Muchova did not lost her serve, but also did not gave any breakpoint to her opponent. Thus with two breaks in the first set and two breaks in the second set, the Czech player won the match.
In the third round, Karolina Muchova will face Taylor Townsend (USA), who produced one of the surprises of the day, defeating the 19h-seeded Beatriz Haddad Maia (Brazil) by 2-0 (7:6, 7:5). The American showed a very solid play from the baseline and recorded 31 winners compared to just 18 for her opponent.
Jennifer Brady (USA) also surprised, defeating the 24th-seeded Magda Linette (Poland) by 2-1 (6:1, 2:6, 6:2) in 2:05 hours of play and in the next round will face the former world’s number one, who recently returned on the court Caroline Wozniacki (Denmark), who eliminated 11th-seeded Petra Kvitova (Czech Republic) by 2-0 (7:5, 7:6).
