(Reuters) - Top seed Karolina Pliskova congratulated opponent Caroline Garcia after being unceremoniously dumped out of the U.S. Open second round in straight sets on Wednesday and said she was already gearing up for redemption on the clay of Roland Garros.

An out-of-sorts Pliskova was blitzed 6-1 7-6(2) by the unseeded Frenchwoman in a match that marked the earliest exit by a top seed at Flushing Meadows since Simona Halep's opening round loss in 2018.
