Stefanos Tsitsipas was left gutted and cursing his own play after he missed the potential opportunity to secure the No. 1 world ranking after his shock US Open loss. Not only did the Greek star suffer a very surprising four-set defeat to Colombian qualifier Daniel Elahi Galan on Monday night, but he also squandered the chance of topping the rankings presented to him at this tournament.
Emma Raducanu should «stick with it» when it comes to her latest coaching situation at the US Open, according to tennis legend Martina Navratilova. The 19-year-old beat Leylah Fernandez 6-4 6-3 in last year’s final to seal an incredible triumph, coming through 10 matches as a qualifier without dropping a set. Since that remarkable Grand Slam success at Flushing Meadows, she has experienced a dip in form and struggled to progress further than the second round in each of the three Grand Slams played this year.
For Serena Williams, her very essence can be summed up in nine short words: “expecting the best from myself and proving people wrong.”

Eurosport's tennis experts have been reacting to the incredible celebration of Serena Williams' career and her first-round victory over Danka Kovinic at the US Open. Williams won through to the second round at Flushing Meadows after a 6-3 6-3 win over Montenegro’s Kovinic on an emotional night in her farewell tournament. Ad The packed and noisy crowd inside Arthur Ashe Stadium could have witnessed Williams’ last ever singles match as a professional, but instead, the 23-time Grand Slam champion delivered when it mattered to keep her tournament going.
Serena Williams has joked that the «overwhelming» reception she received during her US Open first-round victory over Danka Kovinic could prompt her into a possible change of heart over her impending retirement. The 23-time Grand Slam winner looks set to call time on a glittering career following this year’s tournament after revealing recently that she plans to ‘evolve away’ from tennis. Ad However, following her 6-3 6-3 win over the Montenegro player in front of a loud and passionate crowd inside the Arthur Ashe Stadium, the 40-year-old hinted at a possible U-turn.
Eurosport's Barbara Schett and Mats Wilander have given their reaction to Simona Halep suffering a «big disappointment» in losing in the first round of the US Open to Daria Snigur. Halep, who has not reached the semi-finals at Flushing Meadows since 2015, struggled from the outset as she suffered a shock 2-6 6-0 3-6 defeat against the world No. 124 qualifier.
Nick Kyrgios said he hopes he «never again» has to face his good friend, Thanasi Kokkinakis, at a Grand Slam after his first-round victory at the US Open, while Stefanos Tsitsipas sensationally crashed out in his opener. It was a straightforward victory for Kyrgios as he swept past Kokkinakis in straight sets, 6-4 6-4 7-6(4), and he will now be able to take on opponents with more relish in New York. Ad Perhaps surprisingly, the duo — who customarily play doubles together, winning their home Australian Open back in January — were meeting for the first time ever in a tour singles match, and it was clear for all to see how Kyrgios did not enjoy facing his compatriot on Arthur Ashe Stadium.
