This will be their first meeting.
Volynets Arrives With a Timely Philadelphia Triumph
Katie Volynets recently lifted the WTA 125 title in Philadelphia, defeating Tereza Valentova in straight sets in the final. It was the first hard-court title of her career and should give her a timely boost of confidence heading into the US Open.
The 24-year-old has struggled for consistency on tour this year. She has played 19 events and registered multiple wins only twice, reaching the quarterfinals in Memphis and the semifinals in Ostrava.
This is her sixth main-draw appearance at the US Open, and she has failed to clear the opening-round hurdle in each of her previous five appearances.

Noskova Looks to Build on Her Cincinnati Resurgence
Linda Noskova began the North American swing with an opening-round loss in Toronto but bounced back by reaching the fourth round in Cincinnati. She will now look to build further momentum in New York.
The Czech posted solid results early this year but raised her level significantly during the grass-court season, winning 12 of her 13 matches, including her maiden Grand Slam title at Wimbledon. Those results helped her achieve a career-high ranking of No. 6 recently.
She has played the US Open four times before and cleared the opening-round hurdle twice, notably reaching the third round last year.
