US Open 2024: Wimbledon champion Krejcikova crashes out after losing to Ruse

The Hindu  

Romanian qualifier Elena-Gabriela Ruse bounced Wimbledon champion Barbora Krejcikova from the second round of the US Open on Wednesday, beating the Czech 6-4, 7-5 to reach the third round of a Grand Slam for the first time. “It’s just a dream for me.” Ruse, ranked 122nd in the world, pulled off the biggest upset of the tournament so far with her win over the eighth-ranked Krejcikova. She acknowledged before the tournament that obligations in the wake of her Wimbledon victory “took a lot of energy,” although adding a second major after her 2021 French Open victory had boosted her confidence and sense of calm. The 26-year-old Ruse, who thanked her team for seeing her through a series of injuries, next faces 26th-seeded Paula Badosa of Spain, a 6-3, 7-5 winner over American Taylor Townsend.
