Old foes Petra Kvitova and Caroline Wozniacki will meet under the lights in the second round of the U.S. Open on Wednesday, rekindling a long-dormant rivalry.
Denmark's Wozniacki retired in 2020 to raise a family and delighted fans as she announced her return to competitive tennis earlier this year, earning a wildcard to the year's final major.
"We've been around for a long time. We've played each other many times. I think at the end of the day we're just out there to do our best and compete." Ninth seed Taylor Fritz and 10th seed Frances Tiafoe represent the United States' best hope of ending a 20-year American men's Grand Slam drought and are another highlight to the evening program in New York.
"There is no other way to put it. Like obviously all the Grand Slams are equal in points, but for an American, the U.S. Open is always going to be the most important one." Second seed Novak Djokovic has already reclaimed the world number one ranking with a convincing straight-sets win over Frenchman Alexandre Muller and will hope to continue his march towards matching Margaret Court's record haul of 24 Grand Slams.
