NEW YORK—As pre-tournament favorites go, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal haven’t exactly impressed in their first two matches at the US Open, while Alexander crashed out in the second round. Meanwhile,, the consensus favorite on the women’s side, has somehow managed to exceed prognosticators’ lofty expectations. The world No.

3 has lost just nine games over three rounds, winning two bagel sets in the process. But her 6-1, 6-1 third-round victory over Magdelena Rybarikova was most impressive of all. The breadstick bombardment was the exact same margin by which Muguruza defeated Rybarikova—a crafty player who, on the right day, can disarm anyone—in the Wimbledon semifinals.

“Playing somebody in the third round that you play in semifinals, you know, it’s a little bit tough match, and I just learn of what I did there,” a gracious Muguruza said afterward. “Go forward, try to hit some big shots and big serves.” Big shots and big serves have resulted in big trophies for Muguruza this summer. She’s 19-2 since the beginning of Wimbledon, where she won her second career Grand Slam titles. Her only losses since then have been to Madison Keys and Elina Svitolina, and she won the prestigious Western & Southern Open in Cincinnati with lopsided victories over world No. 1 Karolina Pliskova—6-3, 6-2—and world No. 2 Simona Halep—6-1, 6-0. “I feel I improve a lot as a tennis player,” Mugurza said after her latest dismissal of Rybarikova.

“You know, the summer has been great, and I’m playing a lot of matches. So the fact that I played so much matches gives me, you know, gives me pretty good confidence.” Can anyone stop this express train in Queens? There are potential pitfalls in Muguruza’s half of the draw, primarily the ageless and resurgent Maria Sharapova. But Muguruza’s most difficult test could come as soon as Sunday, in the fourth round. That’s when she’ll face, who has had an equally impressive first week in Flushing Meadows. Kvitova’s emotional return at Roland Garros from a knife attack was justifiably one of the stories of the season.

But play since then has also been noteworthy—and, frankly, underreported. Mikroskop turali referat azasha. After taking a second-round loss in Paris, Kvitova strolled onto grass, the surface on which she’s won her two Grand Slam titles. She promptly won the Birmingham tune-up tournament, reminding fans of what we’d missed over the first half of 2017, and showing she can recapture her command quickly.

Wimbledon didn’t bear its typically bountiful fruit (strawberries, no doubt) for Kvitova, who lost in the second round. And her subsequent play at hard-court events in Stanford, Toronto, Cincinnati and New Haven was middling, at best. But that’s all been forgotten this week, under the brightest lights, as Kvitova has resembled the force we’ve come to know and appreciate. Beginning with a potentially difficult first-rounder against Jelena Jankovic, Kvitova has won each of her matches in straight sets.
