Ana Ivanovic Crashes Out Of US Open

Ana Ivanovic became the second top-10 player to crash out of the US Open as she suffered a second-round exit at the hands of Czech Karolina Pliskova.

After fourth seed Agnieszka Radwanska went down early on Wednesday, it was Ivanovic's turn to suffer the early shock on Thursday.
The eighth seed went into the tournament with high hopes of marking her best season since she won the French Open in 2008 with a good run in New York.
But she found world No 42 Pliskova in fine form and succumbed to a 7-5 6-4 defeat, with the 22-year-old reaching the third round at a grand slam for the first time in her career.
For all her success this year, winning three titles, deep runs at slams have continued to elude Ivanovic.
The exception was the Australian Open, where she defeated Serena Williams to reach the quarter-finals, but she then went on to lose in the third round at both the French Open and Wimbledon.
