Game Wang falls at second Open hurdle

The 22-year-old Chinese rising star Wang Qiang failed to reach the US Open third round after losing 4-6, 6-4, 6-2 to 29th-seeded Casey Dellacqua on Thursday.

Wang's loss left Peng Shuai the only Chinese player remaining in the women's singles draw.

The round-of-64 match lasted for 119 minutes. Wang outperformed Dellaqua with more aces and fewer unforced errors but she only converted two of her nine breakpoints.
