It was his fourth win over a player in the world's top 20 with three coming this year. 9WWOS
Australian Alexei Popyrin has upset 15th-seeded Grigor Dimitrov to progress through to the third round of the US Open.
The win reminded tennis fans of his 2019 victory over future US Open champion Dominic Thiem at Melbourne Park. Defending champion Naomi Osaka advanced to the third round when her opponent withdrew because of illness. Osaka had been scheduled to face Olga Danilovic of Serbia in the first match of the day at Arthur Ashe Stadium. Instead, the U.S. Tennis Association moved the 12th-seeded Halep's match against Kristina Kucova into that spot.
"I think it's going to be a very difficult match. I think she always plays great here," Muguruza said. "I think that's the best. Just to go out there and play with people that are top level."
