Top seeds at the US Open will look to avoid some of the early carnage of recent grand slams as the tournament gets underway in New York.
But Australian Open champion Madison Keys is already out, with the American and sixth seed stunned by Mexican player Renata Zarazua in a three-hour epic on Arthur Ashe Stadium. Former US Open champion Daniil Medvedev is out too, losing to Benjamin Bonzi in the first round just as he did at last month’s Wimbledon.
Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz have shared the last seven grand slams between them and and would play a third grand slam final in a row if they meet this fortnight. Defending champion Aryna Sabalenka is the top seed in the women’s draw, with Wimbledon champion Iga Swiatek returning to second seed ahead of Coco Gauff.
