MATCH REPORT | 2024 US Open: Jasmine Paolini moves into third round after Pliskova walkover three points in
WTAThursday, 29 August 2024 at 20:05
No.5 seed Jasmine Paolini has advanced into the third round of the US Open for the first time after 2016 runner-up Karolina Pliskova retired only three points in to their second round tie.
Paolini led 30-15 in the first service game but couldn't even complete that. Pliskova pulled up and began limping. The Czech ace requested a medical timeout for treatment on her left foot.
But she was unable to continue. Paolini will now face No.30 seed Yulia Putintseva. She came from 5-3 down in the second set to defeat Wang Xinyu 6-1, 7-6 for the first time in four meetings. The placement and variety of Putintseva was superb as she led with ease 6-1, 3-1 but she had to fight in the end to stave off a purple patch from her opponent.
Other players through include Diana Shnaider who saw off Clara Tauson 6-4, 6-4. Anna Kalinskaya was one of the first winners of the day in the battle of the Anna's. She defeated Anna Bondar with ease 6-2, 6-4 to continue her run. Iga Swiatek has just began her tie while Mirra Andreeva who could be an opponent for Swiatek is in trouble.
She sits on the verge of defeat against Ashlyn Krueger who is just one game away as of time of writing. Sofia Kenin v Jessica Pegula also is played shortly in an all American clash.
