McNally Lost to Pliskova in US Open Opener
Coming into the US Open on the back of a last-16 loss to Russian Daria Kasatkina in the Cleveland Championships, young McNally launched her campaign at the year’s last Grand Slam against veteran Czech star Karolina Pliskova.
And, the vast experience and big-game smarts of her seasoned opponent proved a little too hot to handle for the rising American as she went down in straight sets to crash out of the tournament.
Bringing her superior skill-sets to bear on young McNally, Pliskova raced to a 6-3 win in the opening set. Wary of taking her foot off the accelerator, the Czech star pressed ahead with the momentum to close 0ut a fairly lopsided win in the end.
McNally will have redemption in her sights as she opens her Indian Wells campaign against unheralded Chinese Saisai Zheng on Wednesday.
Though the American will fancy coming through against an opponent who is still finding her way around in the professional circuit, she would wary of making the rookie mistake of letting complacency settling into her system against a relatively lightweight rival.

After reaching the second round at this year’s French Open and following it up with a title-run at ITF Portugal 10A, Zheng reached the semifinals of WTA 125 event at Columbus, US.
Though she faltered at her next event, the ITF USA 18A, going down in the opening round to Russian Maria Kozyreva, the emerging Chinese talent did enough to make the draw at the Indian Wells Masters.
