US Open:
Grabher conqueror Ruse also defeats Krejcikova
Elena-Gabriela Ruse's run of success at the US Open continues. The 26-year-old Romanian knocked Barbora Krejcikova, the number eight of the Grand Slam tournament, out of the competition in the 2nd round on Wednesday. The world number 122 beat the Czech Wimbledon winner on the Grandstand 6-4, 7-5 in 1:45 hours.
Ruse had previously defeated Austria's only starter Julia Grabher 6:2, 6:4 after three qualifying hurdles in the opening round.
Her next opponent will be the 26th-ranked Spaniard Paula Badosa, who also did not lose a set in her 6:3,7:5 win over the American Taylor Townsend. Ruse has already secured 215,000 dollars in prize money. That's almost as much as she has earned so far this year.
