Reigning Wimbledon champion Garbine Muguruza advanced while British seventh seed Johanna Konta was ousted at the US Open, where Maria Sharapova's long-awaited return to Grand Slam tennis was finally at hand. Spanish third seed Muguruza defeated American Varvara Lepchenko 6-0, 6-3 for her first triumph in Arthur Ashe Stadium, which celebrated its 20th anniversary on the first day of New York hardcourt matches. Muguruza, last year's French Open champion, can reach the US Open third round for the first time Wednesday by defeating China's Duan Ying-Ying. Serbia's 78th-ranked Aleksandra Krunic upset Konta 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, ending her slim hopes at taking the world number one ranking at the tournament."I'm happy I had everything together and was able to put some serves in," said Krunic, whose best Slam performance was the last 16 here in 2014.
