The Latest: 2-time Wimbledon champ Kvitova in Open's 4th Rd
NEW YORK (AP) — The Latest on the U.S. Open, the year's last Grand Slam tennis tournament (all times local):___12:35 p.m.
Two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova moved into the U.S. Open's fourth round with a 6-0, 6-4 victory over 18th-seeded Caroline Garcia of France.
It was only the 19th match of the year for Kvitova, who missed the first half of the season after she was cut on her left hand — the one she holds her racket with — during an attack by a knife-wielding intruder at her home in the Czech Republic in December. Garcia, in contrast, has played 52 matches in 2017.
The 13th-seeded Kvitova is in the fourth round at Flushing Meadows for the third time in a row.
