NEW YORK - Second seed Ash Barty fought off a stiff challenge at the end of the second set to beat American Lauren Davis 6-2 7-6 and reach the third round of the U.S. Open on Wednesday.
The French Open champion came to the net to great effect, proving the more aggressive player as she used her slice to dictate the pace of the contest and fired 35 winners, 22 more than her opponent. Davis mounted a fierce defensive effort, saving 14 of 18 break points the Australian earned, and had a set point herself at 5-4 in the second stanza at Louis Armstrong Stadium.
Barty ultimately battled through to a tiebreak and secured the victory when the American went wide with a forehand at the end of another lengthy rally.
