Pliskova battles back to beat Linette at US Open, Bouzkova next

Czech Karolina Pliskova, the No 22 seed, edged out Pole Magda Linette 6-2, 4-6, 7-6 (8) to move into the second round of the US Open at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in New York City on Tuesday evening.

Former world No 1 Pliskova, the runner-up at the US Open in 2016 and at Wimbledon last year, trailed 4-1 in the final set but came back and despite failing to serve out at 6-5, pinched the final-set tiebreak 10-8 for victory.

Pliskova, ranked No 22, will face another Czech, Marie Bouzkova, next.
