By IANS News August 27, 2024 • 11:36 AM View: 730

Louis Armstrong Stadium: World No. 2 Aryna Sabalenka registered a comfortable 6-3, 6-3 win over Australian qualifier Priscilla Hon in her US Open opener.

The reigning Australian Open champion, Sabalenka, who has reached the US Open semifinals or better in her past three attempts, will next face Italy’s Lucia Bronzetti, who advanced after New Zealand's Lulu Sun was forced to retire after losing the first set 6-3.

Against the Italian, Sabalenka owns a 1-0 head-to-head record from a straight-sets win on the hard courts of Brisbane this year.
