At this Stage
For a set, Jaqueline Cristian stayed level with Iva Jovic; after the tiebreak she didn't win another game. The 18-year-old American took the breaker 7-1, then handed out a bagel — 7-6(1) 6-0 in 90 minutes — to complete a tidy piece of career book-keeping: Jovic now owns a main-draw win at all four Grand Slams. Cristian, six double faults deep on a surface where her record is modest, faded almost on cue once the set was gone. The 16th seed's second-round assignment, Tatjana Maria, would be dispatched even more briskly, 6-1 6-2 — a draw beginning to look kindly on the teenager.
