Top Seed Karolina Pliskova Starts US Open Bid With a Bang – Number one seed Karolina Pliskova dropped serve in her first game at this year’s US Open but recovered to send Anhelina Kalinina packing.
The world number three, promoted to ranking following the withdrawals of Ashleigh Barty and Simona Halep, won 6-4 6-0 in only over an hour inside the vast, empty, Ashe Stadium.
The tournament in ny is being played behind closed doors with just a couple of support staff attending .
With six of the women’s top 10 missing the tournament thanks to coronavirus concerns, Pliskova will surely not have a far better chance of going one better than her final appearance in 2016 and claiming a primary slam title.
She will face Caroline Garcia of France within the next round.
Two former Wimbledon champions, Angelique Kerber and Petra Kvitova, also reached the second round with little fuss.
