After Straightforward Win, Taylor Townsend Aims For 3rd US Open Second Week
It’s no secret that American tennis players have a bit more fun when they play at the US Open. But for Taylor Townsend, she’s had fun with outfits, engaged with fans, and she’s only dropped seven games in two matches at this tournament. She’s one win away from a third appearance in the US Open …
American tennis player Taylor Townsend is preparing for her third appearance in the second week of the US Open after a straightforward win against Taylah Preston. Townsend dominated the Aussie in a 48-minute match, winning 6-1, 6-1. She expressed feeling confident and ready for the next round, stating "I'm just feeling it." Townsend's outfits during the US Open have been inspired by her personal life and tournament themes, with her Wednesday's outfit being a nod to HBCU Day.
This is Townsend's second round match at her third US Open appearance, following a stunning upset over Simona Halep in 2019 and an upset of Mirra Andreeva last year. Townsend's singles game tends to be at its finest at Flushing Meadows, making it the perfect setting for her to shine. Her next match will be against fellow lefty Diana Shnaider, who has a strong power and flat groundstroke style that could contrast with Townsend's variety and energy. This match is set to take place on Court 17 at 1 p.m. on Friday.
