US Open – Ash Barty and Karolina Pliskova eliminated! #USOpen #Serena #Williams #Barty #Pliskova #WTA

Sunday was fatal to two contenders in place of world number one. So, Ashleigh Barty failed in front of an impressive Qiang Wang for the first time in three encounters in 1h23 on the score of 6-2, 6-4. The No. 2 world has never found its pace by achieving 39 unforced errors in just two sets and did not concretize any of his 9 break points unlike the Chinese who played very well and won the match on his fourth opportunity. Coup de chapeau, by the way, to Thomas Drouet, who coaches the Asian since Roland Garros. The Australian, who had shown beautiful things against Maria Sakkari, leaves room for Naomi Osaka and Karolina Pliskova to take the throne. For Wang, it is surely the most beautiful victory of his career which makes him reach the first quarter-final of a grand slam in his career.

US Open 2019 – Serena still dreams of a 24th Grand Slam!

376 points behind the Aussie, Pliskova had to get rid of the British Johanna Konta. But the Czech has stuck in the money time. Already semi-finalist at Roland-Garros, Konta has been violent (6-7, 6-3, 7-5). Naomi Osaka will recover the first place in the world if it retains its title in Flushing.

Finally, Elina Svitolina will try to confirm the big impression left from the beginning. The Ukrainian will face the challengeMadison Keys, always at ease in his garden of Flushing Meadows.

Upset complete!

The tension is rising New York with the start of the knockout stages of theUS Open this Sunday. In front of his fans, the American legend Serena Williams will of course be highly anticipated. The 24th Grand Slam mission continues this Sunday for the American. Solid 3rd round in front of Karolina Muchova, 44th world, Serena was able to reassure himself with a good quality copy and a 6-3, 6-2 win in just over an hour. The former world number 1 will however tackle a tough opponent in the round of 16: Petra Martic. Tomb of the number 12 head Anastasija Sevastova on the previous lap, the Croatian is still very dangerous. By the way, on the run, Martic will be proud to have been in the second week of all the grand slams in his career. This will be the very first clash between the two women. Not easy at all for Serena.
