    US Open Day 5: Order of Play & Scores

    US Open

    Day 5 will feature Women’s third round matches, and the men to finish the second round.  On the women’s side, Venus Williams will play the higher-seeded Sara Errani, but Venus is trending this summer.  Also, Petkovic v. Wozniaki will be one to watch.  And Jelena Jankovic will take on Johanna Larsson, who eliminated Sloane Stephens in the previous round.

    Men’s matches of note:  the volatile but dangerous Jerzy Janowicz with meet Kevin Anderson in a battle of the tall men; young up-and-comer Dominic Thiem will play the sometimes erratic Ernests Gulbis; and Bernard Tomic takes on the very steady #4 seed, David Ferrer.

    Federer, Sharapova, Dimitrov and Halep with all see action.  And the Williams sisters are the last match of the day on Armstrong in the second round of doubles.

    The full schedule for Day 5 is listed below (Results to follow).  All times are local.

    Petra Kvitova

    Petra Kvitova has won the Connecticut Open for the second time, dominating Slovakia’s Magdalena Rybarikova in the final, 6-4, 6-2.  Kvitova, ranked No. 4 in the world, is the reigning Wimbledon Champion, and had previously won here in 2012.  Rybarikova, No. 31, had suffered an injury to her right thigh in her semifinal match against Camila Giorgi and appeared hampered by it, though she did not call for the trainer during the final.

  • Serena Williams Wins Cincinnati

    Serena Williams Wins Cincinnati

    Serena Williams

    Serena Williams won her first ever title in at the Western and Southern Open, beating Ana Ivanovic 6-4, 6-1.  The Serb made a strong start, breaking Williams in the first game of the match and seemed committed to being aggressive on the intimidating Williams serve, often standing inside the baseline.  But Serena found her serve, breaking back in the sixth game for 3-3.  After that, Ivanovic appeared to be feeling the effects of a long and emotional match win last night over Maria Sharapova.  And Williams began to play her best tennis of this North American hard court swing, the lead-up to the US Open, which begins in 8 days.

    Ivanovic, having the winningest season of any woman on tour, will be back in the top 10 when the rankings come out tomorrow.  Serena, one month shy of her 33rd birthday, goes into the next Slam as the heavy favorite.  She is looking for her 18th Major title, which would tie her with Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova.  And having won the US Open tune-up season, she would also collect a bonus, should she win the title in New York…a payday of $4 million dollars.
