NEW YORK : Second seed Aryna Sabalenka blasted past Daria Kasatkina 6-1 6-3 to reach the U.S. Open quarter-finals for the third year in a row on Monday, subduing her opponent with her powerful forehand inside Arthur Ashe Stadium.
Kasatkina lost in straight sets to the Belarusian last month in Cincinnati and had clearly not cracked the code this time around, as Sabalenka overwhelmed her at every turn and she struggled with her serve."I'm super happy with the performance today," said Sabalenka."It was a great match and I'm super happy with the win."
Kasatkina had struggled with double faults through the first three rounds and they were a problem yet again on Monday, as she handed Sabalenka a break with a double fault in the sixth game and again in the opening game of the second set.
