CARLSBAD, Calif. (AP) — Local teenager Coco Vandeweghe upset Wimbledon finalist Vera Zvonareva, 2-6, 7-5, 6-4 in a second-round match Thursday night in the Mercury Insurance Open.
Vandeweghe, ranked No. 205, rebounded from a terrible start to surprise Zvonareva, the world’s No. 9 ranked player.
The 18-year-old Vandeweghe, who grew up about 10 miles from the La Costa Resort where the tournament is being held, outplayed her Russian opponent in both the second and third sets for the biggest win of her short career.
