NEW YORK: Old foes Petra Kvitova and Caroline Wozniacki will meet under the lights in the second round of the US Open on Wednesday , rekindling a long-dormant rivalry.
"I actually didn't know that I had the potential of playing her in the second round. I don't think she knew it either," said Wozniacki, a runner-up twice at Flushing Meadows. "I know exactly what I need to do. I know where my game needs to be at to beat Petra. There's definitely a calmness to knowing that," said Wozniacki.
"There is always going to be a lot of pressure, just as an American playing the US Open," Fritz told reporters. Early rain mercifully gave way to clear conditions in time for the outdoor action on Wednesday, as fans showed up in droves for the first day of the second round.
