Former world number one Caroline Wozniacki marked her return to Grand Slam action for the first time in more than three years with a 6-3 6-2 win over Russian qualifier Tatiana Prozorova on Monday to reach the second round at the U.S. Open. Wozniacki is competing in her third tournament since returning to the tour in Montreal and playing in Cincinnati this month after retiring in 2020 to start a family, but the Dane’s vast experience shone through against 19-year-old Prozorova. US Open honors Billie Jean King on 50th anniversary of equal prize money for women “It feels amazing to be back,” said Wozniacki, who booked a place in the next round against Czech 11th seed Petra Kvitova. Wozniacki shifted up another gear following a delayed start to the next set due to Prozorova’s medical timeout, as the Dane sealed a crucial point after a 30-shot rally en route to grabbing a 3-1 lead.
