At the beginning of the second set, Vondroušová got a break right in the opening game, which went through seven matches and the Czech used the fourth break point in it. She then won a 4:1 lead and didn't allow any more drama.
“It wasn't an easy match. We played a lot of good exchanges and it seemed to me that the opponent has a similar game to me. It was difficult, but I'm happy with how I handled it,” Vondroušová said at the press conference. “I'm happy for the way I'm playing now. It seems to me that there are challenging matches and that's why I'm happy with these results. I'm happy to keep going,” she added.
Bouzková is also celebrating, having advanced to the 3 .rounds of the US Open for the first time in his career. Martičová, the 37th ranked player in the world, allowed only three games, won five of her opponent's seven serves and lost only one herself.
Bouzková, the 31st in the tournament, was in control for most of the match, only slightly complicating the end when she did not convert three match points. In the end, however, she served out the duel after an hour and 19 minutes. She also defeated the thirty-one-year-old Croatian in the second match between them. Against Džábirová, she will repeat the encounter from last year's Wimbledon quarterfinals, when the Czech lost 6:3, 1:6, 1:6.

The thirty-one-year-old Czech finished in the early stages of her third Grand Slam in a row. During this year's Roland Garros and Wimbledon, she was eliminated in the 1st round, but she did better at the Australian Open, where she reached the quarterfinals. She did not follow up on the previous two quarterfinals in New York.
Plíšková did not start the match well and was soon losing 0:3 after two lost serves. Although the Czech tennis player was able to turn the situation around to 4:3, she lost her serve again in the ninth game and Burelová won the opening set after 40 minutes.
Even in the second set, the Czech tennis player did not get comfortable. From 1:0 down, she lost five games in a row, and the twenty-two-year-old Frenchwoman won the match. She advanced to the 3rd round of the US Open for the second time in a row and will next challenge the world number two of Belarus, Aryna Sabalenkova.
“It didn't suit me, the court felt slow. In addition, the conditions were not exactly easy, it was quite windy. I couldn't get into it at all. On the contrary, my opponent played solidly, but I think it was more about my mistakes,” Plíšková was quoted by the Tennisworld website .cz.
Eighteen-year-old Nosková did not imitate this year's victory against Džábirová from the tournament in Adelaide, where she defeated the Tunisian in three sets. This time, the world number five surpassed the Czech Republic in the ratio of winning balls 47:30 and managed the duel in more than two hours.
Nosková did not use several promising opportunities. In the tiebreak of the first set, she did not lead 5:3, and in the decisive third set, she did not confirm the advantage of the break at 3:2. She lost serve once more in the eighth game, and Džabirová then ended the duel with her fourth match point.
