Cirstea Beats Parry in Straight Sets in US Open Round of 64

Sorana Cirstea moved into the US Open third round with a 6-2, 7-5 win over Diane Parry, controlling the opening set and then holding her nerve to close out a tighter second. The Romanian's serve gave her the platform: 68.8% of her first deliveries landed in and she won 72.7% of those points, with just one double fault all match. Parry, by contrast, found only 55.1% of her first serves and coughed up five double faults, winning 63.2% behind the first ball and 38.7% behind the second. It was a clean, efficient performance from Cirstea on a surface that rewards exactly that.
