NEW YORK : World number one Iga Swiatek chipped away at American Sloane Stephens' defensive play to roll into the third round of the U.S. Open 6-3 6-2 on Thursday on her Arthur Ashe Stadium debut.
Highlights of the fourth day at the U.S. Open, the last Grand Slam tournament of the year, at Flushing Meadows on Thursday (times GMT):
World No. 1 Iga Swiatek is in second-round action at the US Open on Thursday, along with Rafael Nadal and Carlos Alcaraz. Swiatek has not been in the best form since seeing her record-breaking streak ended at Wimbledon, and faces a potentially tricky test against former champion Sloane Stephens.
World number one and French Open champion Swiatek eased past Italy's Jasmine Paolini 6-3, 6-0 in just 67 minutes. Victory was a relief for the 21-year-old Pole who had suffered early losses at warm-up events in Toronto and Cincinatti. "In matches, being a little bit stressed and tight, it can get a little bit worse, but still, I feel like my level is just better," said Swiatek who next faces 2017 champion Sloane Stephens. "We'll see if I'm going to hold on to that." Alcaraz, the 19-year-old world number four, was made to sweat by battling Sebastian Baez, winning the first two sets 7-5, 7-5 before the Argentine retired injured 0-2 down in the third.

Swiatek, the reigning French Open champion, will face either Belgium's Greet Minnen or 2017 US Open champion Sloane Stephens in the second round.
