Former US Open semi-finalist Errani back in third round

Italian Sara Errani won against American Caroline Dolehide 7-5, 7-5 to move into the third round of the US Open at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in New York on Thursday evening.

Errani, ranked No 96 and a semi-finalist here in 2012, will play Russian Diana Shnaider, the No 18 seed, next.

The 37-year-old Italian edged out Spaniard Cristina Bucsa (3-6, 6-0, 6-4) in the previous round.
