US Open: Swiatek, Anisimova, Muchova Cruise Into Rd 2 As Upsets Mark Busy Day (roundup)
American Ashlyn Krueger: Iga Swiatek extended her remarkable record in Grand Slam opening rounds with a straight-sets victory over Wang Xiyu, while Amanda Anisimova, Linda Noskova and Karolina Muchova also progressed on a busy day in the women's singles draw.
Seven-time Grand Slam champion Swiatek defeated Wang 6-2, 6-3 in one hour and 28 minutes, breaking late in the second set to seal another routine victory. The win was her 28th consecutive opening-round triumph at a major, with her only Grand Slam first-round defeat coming at Wimbledon in 2019.
Anisimova enjoyed a memorable birthday as she swept past fellow American Ashlyn Krueger 6-1, 6-3 to book her place in the second round. Last year's New York finalist will next face Austrian teenager Lilli Tagger.
