Ashleigh Barty, women’s world No. 1, made quick work in her first matchup. She dominated the first set before a more even-matched second set win:
In her first matchup, Osaka moved pretty easily through Marie Bouzková (6-4, 6-1) from the Czech Republic. Her opponent had a fairly competitive match with American Alycia Parks (6-4, 7-5). Osaka has won two of the last three U.S. Open events, losing in the fourth round in 2019. A run to the finals would put her in rarefied air, winning three U.S. Opens in four years. Only Serena Williams (2012-2014) and Steffi Graf (1993-1996) have accomplished this in the past 30 years.
On the men’s side, world No. 2 Medvedev, No. 3 Stefanos Tsitsipas, No. 5 Andrey Rublev, No. 8 Casper Ruud, No. 11 Diego Schwartzman, No. 12 Félix Auger-Aliassime and No. 15 Grigor Dimitrov will all be in action. They all take the court against an underdog that had to go five sets to advance into the second round, other than Dimitrov, whose opponent finished up in four fairly easy sets.
Also, the doubles tournament kicks off for the men and the women today, as well as the mixed teams.
