NEW YORK -- American teenager Christina McHale reached the third round of a Grand Slam tournament for the first time, upsetting eight-seeded Marion Bartoli in straight sets Wednesday.
The 19-year-old from Englewood Cliffs, N.J., won 7-6 (2), 6-2. She's ranked a career-high 55th and beat No. 1 Caroline Wozniacki in Cincinnati this month.
McHale clinched the victory in style, winning the final point on an ace. The youngest woman in the top 100, McHale was playing in her eighth major tournament.
At the French Open this year, she was up 5-0 in the third set but let it slip away and was beaten 6-7 (4), 6-2, 9-7 by Sara Errani. McHale didn't lose any leads this time.
Bartoli, a 26-year-old Frenchwoman, was a semifinalist at Roland Garros this year.
