Reuters: Former world number one Caroline Wozniacki raced to a 6-1 6-2 win over South Africa’s Chanelle Scheepers to reach the third round of the US Open on Thursday.
The sixth-seeded Dane, made to work hard for her first-round victory over Chinese qualifier Duan Yingying, dropped her first service game on Arthur Ashe Stadium court but never looked back in the 67-minute romp.
“I’m really pleased with the way I was moving today and moving from defence to offense,” Wozniacki said on-court. Wozniacki will next play Italy’s Camila Giorgi, a 6-4 7-6 (8) winner over Hsieh Su-Wei of Taiwan.
