World No. 1 Karolina Pliskova admitted she is struggling to cope with the pressure after surviving a major scare in the second round of the US Open.
Stellar year for Karolina The Czech top seed lost the first set to American Nicole Gibbs but recovered to win 2-6, 6-3, 6-4. Pliskova has had a stellar 12 months, which began when she reached the final here, and she climbed to the top of the rankings after Wimbledon. "I think you cannot see how I&rsquo;m feeling inside. Even when I was playing some matches last year, two years before, I still have some nerves in myself. But I think now it&rsquo;s even more. Every match, I have to win. There is enough pressure on me."
New US Open record American Shelby Rogers and Australian Daria Gavrilova set a record of 3hr 33min for the longest women&rsquo;s singles match played at the US Open on Thursday. Rogers won 7-6 (8/6), 4-6, 7-6 (7/5) on a fifth match point in a final set that lasted 90 minutes. Their second-round tie on Court 10 went past the previous longest of the 3 hours and 23 minutes it took Johanna Konta to defeat Garbine Muguruza 7-6 (7/4), 6-7 (4/7), 6-2 in the second round of the 2015 US Open.
