U. S. Open

Serena Williams beat Taylor Townsend 6-3, 6-1, opening play with a win as she goes for a repeat title. But the winner was complimentary of her teenaged opponent.

“I think it was an interesting match, she played really well, started out super strong,” said Williams. “I believe she does everything well. She’s one of the few players that can come to the net and volley,

as well as she has unbelievable hand speed with her racquet. She’s really unbelievable.”

Third-seeded Wimbledon winner Petra Kvitova crushed Kristina Mladenovic 6-1, 6-0, while the women she beat at the All England Club two months ago, Canadian Eugenie Bouchard, began the event by defeating Olga Govortsova 6-2, 6-1. Eighth seed Ana Ivanovic rolled over American Alison Riske 6-3, 6-0, and Italian 11th seed Flavia Pennetta stopped German Julia Goerges 6-3, 4-6, 6-1.

American 15-year-old CiCi Bellis became the youngest winner at the event since 1996 – three years before her birth – as she stunned Australian Open finalist and 12th seed Dominika Cibulkova 6-1, 4-6, 6-4. The teenager who is an amateur and keeping her options open on a tennis career, could have claimed 60,000 dollars in prize money for reaching the second round had she been a professional.

Former number one Victoria Azarenka, seeded 16th after a season of injury, struggled but win as she reached the second round over Misaki Doi of Japan 6-7 (3-7), 6-4, 6-1. “I felt throughout three sets I was pretty consistent with movement and everything. So it

was all good,” said Azarenka. .

2011 champion Samantha Stosur beat Lauren Davis of the US 6-1, 6-4, while another ex-holder, Svetlana Kuznetsova, lost to Marina Erakovic of New Zealand 3-6, 6-2, 7-6 (7-3).
