Two top-10 seeds from the women's draw fell on Thursday at the 2015 U.S. Open in New York. The biggest stunner was Petra Cetkovska's 6-4, 5-7, 7-6 (7-1) win over No. 4 Caroline Wozniacki.

Cetkovska used an amazing 61 winners to overcome an equally astonishing 60 unforced errors. It was an incredibly close match with both players almost even in most of the statistical categories. However, Cetkovska was able to stave off four match points in the final set to force the tiebreaker.
