(Source: AP)Even if she has a perfect record against Zhang Shuai, there is little chance that Karolina Pliskova will take anything for granted when the world number one faces the Chinese 27th seed in the U.S. Open third round on Saturday. The fact that she dropped a set in the previous round and Zhang’s recent results mean the Czech will be on her guard as she kicks off the day on Arthur Ashe Stadium. Pliskova’s pace, however, should help her prevail as Zhang is a pure baseliner who might struggle to keep the rhythm against the tall Czech.
