An hour and a half after the start of the 2023 US Open, the first big surprise. A famous victim returning home after suffering defeat at the beginning, on opening day, as part of the opening program.
As an executioner, one of the young Spanish women taking shape on the professional circuit. Rebecca Masarovawho was a junior champion at Roland Garros when he was competing for Switzerland, is a positive opponent.
At 24 years old, world number 71, he opened his tally of victories against a top 10 rival. His record was 0-4, he solved it in his second US Open, only his fifth participation in the Grand Slam.
He dropped the No. 8 in the world, a semifinalist at Roland Garros and this US Open in 2021. Masarova beat 6-4 and 6-4, in one hour and 27 minutes, in Greek Maria Sakkari, 28 years old and celebrating his 21st Grand Slam.
