The last time Caroline Wozniacki beat a top 20 ranked opponent was in 2018.
NEW YORK: Caroline Wozniacki claimed the biggest win of her comeback and a spot in the third round of the US Open on Wednesday as the Dane’s Grand Slam adventure continued with an 7-5, 7-6 upset of 11th seed Petra Kvitova.
Having retired in 2020 to raise a family and playing in just her third event since returning to action Wozniacki turned back the clock to come out on top in the battle of 33-year-old Grand Slam champions. Kvitova was never going to outwork the Dane, who endeared herself to New Yorkers by returning to the city to run the marathon, but the Czech had other weapons including a willingness to go for the big shot.
