US Open: Paris achievers make slow, stuttering starts in New York.
Last month, Zheng Qinwen began her Paris Olympics campaign dropping just six games across the first couple of rounds, which included a 6-0, 6-0 scoreline. At this US Open, the Chinese has been taken the distance in both her outings so far; the latest a 6-7(3), 6-1, 6-2 turnaround against Erika Andreeva on Wednesday.
Last month, Lorenzo Musetti began his Paris Olympics campaign with a couple of straight-sets victories. At this US Open, the Italian has been taken to four and five sets in his first two rounds; the latest a 3-6, 6-4, 6-4, 2-6, 5-7 escape from the brink of exit against Miomir Kecmanovic saving match points on Wednesday.
