NEW YORK :Iga Swiatek and Jannik Sinner showed their championship pedigree at the U.S. Open on Tuesday with commanding displays at the Arthur Ashe Stadium, walloping their first-round opponents on the third day of first-round action at the newly expanded major.
NEW YORK: Iga Swiatek is trying to do something no woman has done since Serena Williams in 2012: win the US Open and Wimbledon in the same season.
BERLIN: Holders Stuttgart won a dramatic 8-7 penalty shoot-out in the first round of the German Cup on Tuesday after twice having to come from behind against second tier Braunschweig in a chaotic 4-4 draw. Lorenz Assignon scored the decisive spot kick after Stuttgart goalie Alexander Nuebel saved three times in the shoot-out, keeping the struggling title holders in the competition. Stuttgart have stumbled into this season, losing the German Super Cup 2-1 at home against Bayern Munich before going down by the same scoreline at Union Berlin in their league opener. Stuttgart were down after just eight minutes when Sven Koehler opened the scoring with a long-range effort, but drew level just three minutes later when Ermedin Demirovic scored his first. Demirovic looked to have Stuttgart on track when he scored another with 60 minutes played, but Braunschweig’s Fabio Di Michele Sanchez scored in the 77th and 85th minutes to grab hold of the game. Stuttgart’s Nick Woltemade levelled things up in the final minute of regulation time, taking the game into extra-time.
NEW YORK :Past winners Iga Swiatek and Jannik Sinner walloped their U.S. Open first-round opponents on Arthur Ashe Stadium on Tuesday, as home fans eagerly awaited 2023 champion Coco Gauff in the evening programme.
NEW YORK :The U.S. Open's first round continues on Tuesday, with men's top seed Jannik Sinner beginning his title defence, while Iga Swiatek and Coco Gauff launch their bids to dethrone women's defending champion Aryna Sabalenka.
NEW YORK :Taylor Fritz and Ben Shelton got their U.S. Open campaigns off to a confident start on Sunday, cruising into the second round as they bid to end a 22-year title drought for American men in New York.
NEW YORK: Defending US Open champion Aryna Sabalenka was given an early test before she moved into the second round while Emma Raducanu won her first match at the Grand Slam since her 2021 triumph as the tournament began a day earlier than usual on Sunday. Under the new extended 15-day format, first-round singles action will be contested from Sunday to Tuesday, rather than two days as in previous years, spreading out the star attractions and allowing access for another 70,000-odd spectators. Sabalenka was among the marquee names on the opening day’s schedule and the Belarusian fed off the vocal Arthur Ashe crowd to overcome determined Swiss Rebeka Masarova 7-5 6-1 and move into the next round. “When I won that first set and you cheered for me, I got goosebumps,” said Sabalenka, who will take on Russia’s Polina Kudermetova in the second round on Wednesday. “Your support means a lot to me, thank you for coming. It was an amazing atmosphere.” Novak Djokovic, the record 24-times Grand Slam singles champion, headlines the evening schedule on the main showcourt against American Learner Tien and he will be followed by 2024 finalist Jessica Pegula, who plays Egypt’s Mayar Sherif. Italian Jasmine Paolini kicks off the later program on Louis Armstrong Stadium against Australian qualifier Destanee Aiava, followed by the 2021 champion and 13th seed Daniil Medvedev, who faces France’s Benjamin Bonzi.
