Tsvetana Pironkova vs Garbine Muguruza go head-to-head! | US Open 2020 Round 2
Tsvetana Pironkova - who used a protected ranking to enter the US Open 2020 and hasn’t played on tour since 2017 - comes up against Australian Open 2020 finalist and No. 10 seed Garbine Muguruza in Round 2 of the US Open 2020.
Pironkova, who gave birth to a son in her time away from the sport, won't be an easy out. The Bulgarian owns 21 Top 20 wins in her career - including defeating Venus Williams (twice) on the grass at Wimbledon - and she has reached the quarterfinals or better at a Grand Slam three times. Pironkova defeated talented youngster Liudmila Samsonova in straight sets in Round 1.
While two-time Grand Slam champion Muguruza arrives in fine form after her run to the final of the Australian Open 2020 helped her re-enter the Top 20 in the world rankings. She eased past Japan's Nao Hibino in a tight two-set match in Round 1.
Can Pironkova continue her dream run at her first tournament in over three years? Or will Muguruza maintain her fine form?
