The Spanish Sarah Sorribes defeated the American on Tuesday Alexa Noel and qualified for the second round of the US Open.
Number 115 in the world, Sorribes did not give any kind of option to Noel, who is in position 784 and received an invitation to the tournament as an NCAA university champion, and took the match decisively 6-1 and 6-3 in one hour and 32 minutes.
The Spaniard just won doubles bronze at Paris 2024 with Cristina Bucsa and in the next round she will face the winner of the duel between the Brazilian Beatriz Haddad Maia (number 21) and the Armenian Elina Avanesyan (position 51).
Sorribes has not won a match in a ‘grand slam’ since last year also at Flushing Meadows. This year he bowed out in the first round at the Australian Open, Roland Garros and Wimbledon.
The US Open, the last ‘grand slam’ of the year, began this Monday and will be played until Sunday, September 8 at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in the Big Apple.
