Thursday at the US Open was yet another difficult day for world No.1 Karolina Pliskova, who was a set and almost a break down in the second set when her experience prevailed against American qualifier Nicole Gibbs and pushed the Czech into the third round. Naomi Osaka, the conqueror of defending champion Angelique Kerber, continued to progress, as well as reigning French Open champion Jelena Ostapenko, Agnieszka Radwanska, Elina Svitolina, New York-born Coco Vandeweghe, Madison Keys, Lucie Safarova. We have all that and more covered by our photographer Jimmie48.
