The American sixth seed demonstrated her poise and experience as she moved into the second round at Flushing Meadows after nearly three hours
Gauff frustrated by Siegemund’s stalling tactics in New YorkCoco Gauff demonstrated poise and experience as she moved into the second round of the US Open by recovering from a set down to defeat Laura Siegemund 3-6, 6-2, 6-4 in a tension-filled encounter on Arthur Ashe Stadium that lasted nearly three hours.
“I think that was the situation [at which] I was getting frustrated. I felt like the rules were being bent. That’s why a lot of players get mad when these time violations are called because one ref is letting them go over, the other is more strict on the time. I think tennis needs to be more strict on the rules for everybody regardless of every situation.”
Meanwhile, Caroline Wozniacki marked her return to grand slam tennis with a satisfying victory as she eased past Tatiana Prozorova 6-3, 6-2 in her first round match to set up a marquee second round with her old rival Petra Kvitová. Against Prozorova, a 19-year-old qualifier ranked No 227, Wozniacki took advantage of a good first round draw, smothering the teenager with her consistency and solidity as she advanced.
“We talked about each other’s opponents. She was like, ‘It’s so cool to see you back.’ Just kind of talking about family. I think she didn’t have any idea that she was potentially playing against me either.”
