NEW YORK _ Agnieszka Radwanska, the Open's No. 4 seed, found herself with all she could handle in the person of Britain's Naomi Broady on Thursday.
Broady, a 26-year-old who has never won a WTA event and has a minimal Grand Slam record, had Radwanska on the ropes in the first set, then failed to deliver the knockout. Radwanska came away with a 7-6 (9), 6-3 victory in the second round match on Armstrong Stadium.
Broady served for the first set at 5-3 and was broken. She had three set points in the tiebreaker and didn't convert. On the third one she lost three straight points to lose the set.
