This Wednesday’s day at the US Open closed with a true battle between two former number 1s and Grand Slam champions. Petra Kvitova and Caroline Wozniacki face off on the Arthur Ashe track in what was the toughest game for the Dane since he returned to the slopes a few weeks ago, three years after his retirement.
The two-time finalist at Flushing Meadows returns to the stage where he has played many times against a familiar foe, in front of a crowd that cheered him on under the center court lights.
Wozniacki, who retired in 2020 to start a family and is playing in her third tournament since her comeback, managed to prevail 7-5, 7-6 in the battle between the Grand Slam champions.

The last time Wozniacki defeated a top-20 ranked player was in the 2018 WTA Finals, when she disposed of then-world number five Kvitova, their 15th career meeting ending in the same result.
“I am very excited to have the opportunity to play in Arthur Ashe Stadium.. Three years ago, if you’d asked me, I never thought I’d play on one of those courts again at the US Open, especially in a night session. It’s unbelievable to be there and win a match like this” said Wozniacki after the match.
