Updates from the second round at Flushing Meadows
Get in touch with Daniel | Ostapenko and Townsend row
Shonuff, Swiatek swiftly serves out a 6-1 set, and she’s playing like the best in the world. So, though, is Sabalenka.
Lamens has no answer to Swiatek’s relentless thwacking and precision. She’s sticking in rallies, but all that’s achieving is tiredness; she’s broken again for 1-5, and the first set is nearly gone.
Unsurprisingly, Rublev breaks Boyer to win his third straight game; he now leads 6-3 3-1. Elsewhere, Musetti has just broken Goffin to secure a 6-4 set, while Haddad Maia is up a break in set, leading Golubic 6-1 2-1; Noskova leads Lys 6-4 1-0; Sakkari leads Bondar 6-3 3-0; Wong leads Walton 7-6; Alexandrova leads Wang 6-2 4-2; and Kalinskaya leads Putintseva 6-1 2-4.
