Maria Sharapova’s much-discussed US Open comeback came to an end on Sunday as the 2006 champion lost her fourth-round match to Latvia’s Anastasija Sevastova in three sets. In the night session, Petra Kvitova stunned the crowd inside Arthur Ashe Stadium with a spectacular straight-set win over Wimbledon champion Garbine Muguruza. All that and more our photographer Jimmie48 brings us in photos!

Congrats to Petra, a true champ! Marija, there is a typing error in the line beginning with “In the night session….”. It looks like Petra won over herself :))) which she probably did, in a way but actually, it’s Muguruza who’s out.
Watched a good chunk of the Petra/Garbine match! A good fight from both. A shame for Garbine especially since she was leading, but I’m so happy for Petra. Would love to see her in the final (also happy with Venus though of course 🙂 )
Claire, I’ve fixed it. Jimmie48 posts these galleries after his very busy days at tournament sites, so errors creep in here and there, while I always re-edit the texts a bit later. 🙂
C, the match was spectacular. How Petra recovered from a 4-1 deficit in the first set and Garbine even had a break point for 5-1!
Sad for Muguruza so impressed with and pleased for Petra. Way to come back from tremendous adversity!
Very happy for Petra! She played some amazing tennis and made a spectacular comeback. Just the look on Garbine’s face let me know she was in trouble. “Go, Petra Kvitova!”
So Happy for Petra! Hoping she’ll have her breakthrough here at US Open!
