US Open: Brady continues comeback, knocking out No 24 seed Linette
Jennifer Brady defeated Magda Linette 6-1, 2-6, 6-2 and will play the winner of the match between Petra Kvitova and Caroline Wozniacki in the next round
American Jennifer Brady reached the third round of the US Open by defeating Pole Magda Linette, the No 24 seed, 6-1, 2-6, 6-2 at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in New York on Wednesday night.
While Brady played good tennis to advance, it was a poor night by Linette’s standards, with 30 unforced errors across the three sets and only 12 winners from her racquet.
Brady, ranked No 433, will face the winner of the match between No 11 seed Petra Kvitova and Dane wildcard Caroline Wozniacki, up next on Arthur Ashe.
In the previous round of the US Open, the American won against Australian lucky loser Kimberly Birrell (6-3, 7-6 (4)). Linette, ranked No 24, beat Belarusian Aliaksandra Sasnovich (6-3, 6-1) in the previous round of the Flushing Meadow tournament.
