US Open 2018 results: Caroline Wozniacki cruises into second round, CoCo Vandeweghe bounced
After a wild first day, the action continues on Tuesday
Caroline Wozniacki looked dominant in her first Grand Slam match since a stunning second-round exit at Wimbledon, defeating Samantha Stosur 6-3, 6-2 on Tuesday. With Simona Halep, the No. 1 player in the world, already eliminated, the women's draw at the US Open is a little more open for Wozniacki, who won her first career major at this year's Australian Open. She will try to keep that momentum going throughout the bottom half of the bracket, though Serena Williams looms large on the other side after a commanding first-round win.
No. 20-seeded Naomi Osaka is just 20 years old, but she's raring to take the next step in her career. Osaka made the fourth round in the Australian Open and the third rounds of both the French Open and Wimbledon, losing to Halep, Madison Keys and Angelique Kerber. The Japanese star won her opening match Tuesday, as she tries to continue her success.
No. 5 Petra Kvitova and No. 10 Jelena Ostapenko were also in action early, with Kvitova rolling and Ostapenko surviving a scare.
Wimbledon winner Angelique Kerber also advanced with a sweep.
CoCo Vandeweghe, who made it to the 2017 US Open semifinals, was bounced in a performance that saw 12 double faults, eventually falling to Kirsten Flipkens.
On the men's side, high seeds Roger Federer, Alexander Zverev and Novak Djokovic all made relatively easy work of their first round opponents. The second-ranked Federer took down Japan's Yoshihito Nishioka in three straight sets. Federer improves to 18-0 in opening matches at the US Open.
The fourth-ranked Zverev rolled against Canada's Peter Polansky, taking him down in three dominant sets. The 21-year-old Zverev is the youngest player in the ATP Top 10.
Djokovic lost one set to his opponent, Marton Fucsovics, but finished strong to secure the victory and move on to the Round of 64.
