Several protesters gathered outside the U.S. Open stadium in Flushing Meadows in Queens, New York, on Monday to protest against vaccine travel restrictions that prevented 21-time Grand Slam winner Novak Djokovic from participating in the tournament.
Coco Gauff’s bid to win a maiden Grand Slam title on home turf got off to a comfortable start as the American beat French qualifier Leolia Jeanjean in straight sets in the US Open first round. The 19-year-old ground down her opponent with powerful hitting, racking up 33 winners in a 6-2 6-3 victory that lasted one hour, 19 minutes at Arthur Ashe Stadium. Ad The 12th seed, who has never gone further than the third round before in New York, will face Romania's Elena Gabriela Ruse or Daria Saville of Australia next.
NEW YORK — Ukrainian Daria Snigur's first career win on the WTA Tour was a big one.
World number one Daniil Medvedev opened his US Open title defence by walloping American Stefan Kozlov 6-2 6-4 6-0 in sweltering conditions on Arthur Ashe Stadium. The Russian had an inconsistent run-up to Flushing Meadows but was back to top form on the court where he won his maiden grand slam title a year ago, sending across 10 aces and neutralising Kozlov's serve. The pair traded breaks early in the first set before Medvedev got his motor running, clinching the next four games as Kozlov won fewer than half of his first-serve points. Kozlov was no match for Medvedev's raw power in the second set. The American scraped his wrist and knee after he dived to retrieve the ball, but ended up falling to the ground heavily in the ninth game that saw Medvedev break him to love. He called on the trainer to tend to the injuries but Medvedev showed no mercy as he raced through the final set like a bullet train in just 27 minutes to set up a meeting with Frenchman Arthur Rinderknech in the second round.

Daniil Medvedev launched the defence of his US Open crown on Monday with a straight sets victory over lowly ranked American Stefan Kozlov. World number one Medvedev, bidding to become the first man to successfully defend the US Open since Roger Federer in 2008, eased into the second round with a 6-2, 6-4, 6-0 win in 2hrs 1min. Victory was sweet for Medvedev, who revealed he had regularly struggled to beat Kozlov when the two played at junior level. "He was almost impossible to beat," said the Russian, citing one encounter where his opponent "destroyed me."
NEW YORK — They came to the U.S. Open on Monday from far and wide for Serena – no last name required, befitting someone as much an icon as superstar athlete – eager to see her play or, if not lucky enough to hold the right ticket, hoping for an autograph, a glance at her practicing or merely the chance to breathe the same Flushing Meadows air as her.
