Stefanos Tsitsipas wasted no time getting down to business on Monday at the US Open, sprinting past Albert Ramos-Vinolas 6-2, 6-1, 6-1 in their first-round clash.
The fourth-seeded Greek lost just four first-serve points (35/39) and imposed himself in nearly all of Ramos-Vinolas’ service games, breaking the Spaniard seven times and winning 53 per cent of return points (43/77). Tsitsipas won six consecutive games to wrap up play after one hour and 38 minutes. He finished the day with 38 winners to 26 unforced errors.
Tsitsipas moves to 2-2 at this event and aims to reach the third round in New York for the first time. He awaits the winner of Maxime Cressy and Jozef Kovalik.
Borna Coric became the first seed to book his spot in the second round with a 7-5, 6-3, 6-1 win against Pablo Andujar. The No. 27 seed seed landed 42 winners and converted six of eight break points to defeat the Spaniard after two hours and 20 minutes.
Coric will meet Juan Ignacio Londero in the second round. The Argentine moved past Evgeny Donskoy 6-3, 6-3, 7-5 in one hours and 53 minutes.
After losing to J.J. Wolf in the first-round of qualifying at the Western & Southern Open, Egor Gerasimov bounced back to eliminate No. 18 seed Dusan Lajovic 6-1, 4-6, 6-4, 6-4. The Belarusian improved to 3-0 in first-round Grand Slam encounters, having also reached the same stage last year in New York and at this year’s Australian Open. Gerasimov will next face Jordan Thompson, who beat Stefano Travaglia 6-3, 6-4, 4-6, 6-2.
