Kvitova outslugged Wimbledon champion Muguruza from the baseline in a come-from-behind 7-6 (7-3) 6-3 victory at Flushing Meadows on Sunday.

The Chip Ganassi Racing driver apologized to Hendrick team owner Rick Hendrick immediately after the interview Tuesday, but now Larson is vowing to be more careful with his choice of words. “I think I could be genuine with just using different words,” Larson said Friday, per The Associated Press. “Maybe I should buy myself a thesaurus or something.” Larson caught the NASCAR world’s attention when he said during a NBC Sports video interview: “I feel like Hendrick just plays games in a way with NASCAR and I feel like they always start the year kind of bad to show NASCAR that they’re being nice and cooperating and following the rules and stuff and then it gets a couple months in and they start cheating and finding some speed....
