NEW YORK (Reuters) - Wimbledon champion Garbine Muguruza notched up her first ever victory on Arthur Ashe Stadium with a 6-0 6-3 win over American Varvara Lepchenko at the U.S. Open on Monday. Despite winning two grand slam titles, Muguruza has never felt at home at Flushing Meadows as she has never advanced past the third round here. Lepchenko struggled with her accuracy on the partly-cloudy morning, committing 22 unforced errors to Muguruza's 11. The 23-year-old Muguruza was aggressive throughout, frequently coming to the net and using her powerful ground strokes to push Lepchenko into awkward court positions. Muguruza will next face either American Claire Liu or Duan Ying-ying of China.
