After her compatriot Jelena Jankovic continued to pile up her losses, Serbian world No.78 Aleksandra Krunic made a big impact on the first day of the 2017 US Open by ousting seventh seed Johanna Konta in round one.
Looking fabulous in vibrant and sporty Mizuno kit, Krunic recovered from 1-4 to 4-4 in the first set, but then dropped serve in the following game, allowing Konta to win the set. However, the underdog didn’t despair over a lost chance, won the second set with a crucial break of serve in the eighth game and impressively edged the decider with entertaining shot-making at important moments.
