Canada's Fernandez, Indonesia's Tjen ousted in 2nd round of women's doubles at U.S. Open

Canada's Leylah Fernandez and Indonesia's Janice Tjen fell 6-4, 6-4 to New Zealand's Erin Routliffe and Indonesia's Aldila Sutjiadi in second-round women's doubles action at the U.S. Open on Saturday.

Fernandez and Tjen had one ace to six double faults and only converted on one of their six break-point chances.

Meanwhile, the ninth seeds Routliffe and Sutjiadi had one ace, two double faults and broke on three of their five opportunities.

Amanda Anisimova, like Keys a past runner-up at the U.S. Open, also was knocked out when the No. 10 seed lost to No. 24 Anastasia Potapova 6-2, 7-5.

The 2017 runner-up rebounded after losing the second-set tiebreaker to charge out to 5-0 lead. Zheng held but Keys had a match point while serving at 5-1, and once she couldn't convert that, the turnaround was on, with Keys at one point banging her racket into her head repeatedly and pulling off her visor in disgust.
