  • Top Seeds Survive on Day of Mixed Fortunes
    SPORTS SATURDAY, AUGUST 31, 2013 Li, Radwanska roll into last 16 NEW YORK: Chinese fifth seed Li Na and third-seeded Pole Agnieszka Radwanska made the US Open last 16 yesterday as heavyweights Novak Djokovic, Andy Murray and Serena Williams waited in the wings. Li hit 11 aces in a 6-2, 7-5 victory against teenager Laura Robson, avenging her loss to the Briton at the same stage last year. The 31-year-old Li, who saw her opponent hit 30 unforced errors and a paltry seven winners, goes on to face either Japanese qualifier Kurumi Nara or Serbian ninth seed Jelena Jankovic, the 2008 runner- up, for a quarter-final spot. “I was really happy how I was hitting on the court,” Li said. “And I thought I served really well.” Robson, 19, had been bothered by a wrist injury in the run-up to the tournament and now has a problem with her teeth. “I will see my doctor when I get back (about the wrist). I have to get my wisdom teeth taken out, as well,” she said. Li’s best US Open performance was a run to the quarter-finals in 2009. But that is one round better than Radwanska, who has stum- bled at the fourth round stage on three occasions. The 2012 Wimbledon runner-up made the last 16 once again with a 6-4, 7-6 (7/1) win over Russian 32nd seed Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, a quar- ter-finalist in 2011. Pavlyuchenkova, seeded at a major for the first time, was undone by 41 unforced errors, which rendered her 32 win- ners irrelevant against the steady Radwanska.

  • Qualifier Maria Mateas Upsets Top-Seeded Varvara Lepchenko at Women’S USTA $60,000 Central Coast Pro Tennis Open at Templeton Tennis Ranch
    Qualifier Maria Mateas Upsets Top-Seeded Varvara Lepchenko At Women’s USTA $60,000 Central Coast Pro Tennis Open At Templeton Tennis Ranch CoCo Vandeweghe TEMPLETON, Calif. – Sept. 26, 2019 — Former Duke University standout Maria Mateas won her fourth match in four days, upsetting top-seeded Vavara Lepchenko, 7-6 (6), 6-0, in the second round of the Central Coast Pro Tennis Open, a USTA Pro Circuit Women’s $60,000 event taking place at the Templeton Tennis Ranch. A qualifier who last year lost 7-6 in a third set in the first round at this event, Mateas matched the former world No. 19-ranked WTA player Lepchenko stroke for stroke in the tight first set before running away from it in the second. “I was just trying to hang in there,” said the 20-year-old Mateas, who was born in Romania and grew up in Massachusetts. “The body wasn’t feeling amazing but I was just trying to get to every ball and see what happened and hopefully something good would happen and it did.” Mateas will next face fellow American Shelby Rogers in the quarterfinals on Friday on Stadium Court in the second match of the day session, which begins at 12 noon. Seven of the eight women’s singles quarterfinalists call America their home country with Serbia’s Jovana Jaksic the only foreigner in the final eight. Additionally, the No. 6-seeded Jaksic is the only one of the eight who is a top-eight seeded player. Tournament wild-card CoCo Vandeweghe will meet Hanna Chang in a second semifinal Friday on Court 2.
