Novak Djokovic and Iga Swiatek rolled to straight-set victories to move into the third round at the U.S. Open on Wednesday, fighting not only their opponents but sticky, 85-degree Fahrenheit (29-degree Celsius) weather on the hottest day at the tournament so far.
The Associated PressNovak Djokovic of Serbia returns a shot against Bernabe Zapata Miralles of Spain during their second-round U.S. Open match on Wednesday at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Queens, New York City.
"This couldn't be better. It's a dream come true. If you had asked me three years ago," Wozniacki said, "I would have said I'll never be back here, playing on this court." "I love New York. I love this court. I love everything about this city and playing here," said Wozniacki, who said she planned to hang out with her kids on Thursday. "Absolutely, as soon as I came here over a week ago, I already — instantly — felt so comfortable on these courts and knew that I could play some great tennis and I would be dangerous in the draw."
Tiafoe took a step forward on a day two highly seeded men exited on his half of the draw: No. 5 Casper Ruud, last year's runner-up, and No. 7 Stefanos Tsitsipas. With No. 4 Holger Rune out in the first round, three of the tournament's top seven men already are gone. "We all grew up together. We know each other so well. American tennis is in a great place," Tiafoe said. "Hopefully we keep going and hopefully we end that streak."
"I consider myself a good player, and I don't want to be a person that can be beaten easily or [give] my opponents an easy time on the court against me," said Tsitsipas, who served for the win at 5-3 in the fourth set. "I try to make it as hard as I can, and if it doesn't work, it doesn't work. I move on with my life."
