Caroline Wozniacki’s return to tennis and the US Open has lived up to the hype.
On the first official day of the tournament, the former world-ranked No. 1 player defeated Russian qualifier Tatiana Prozorova, 6-3, 6-2.

It allows players to freeze their ranking in the event of injury, illness or pregnancy for up to three years. This ranking can be used to enter several tournaments, including grand slams, which tend to have the heftiest prize purses. But the rule limits how many grand slams players can enter, something that tennis pro Taylor Townsend of Chicago would like to see changed.
