The wins bolstered hopes for a homegrown winner at the year’s final Grand Slam.
NEW YORK: Third seed Jessica Pegula and former finalist Madison Keys each punched their tickets into the second round of the US Open with routine victories on Tuesday that bolstered hopes for a homegrown winner at the year’s final Grand Slam.
An American woman has not won the US Open since Sloane Stephens beat compatriot Keys in the 2017 final but Pegula has shown she just may be hitting her stride at the perfect time after making light work of world No 52 Giorgi. “But you never really know what’s going to happen. Tennis is so day-to-day, you can feel great one week and then you can feel terrible the next. So you are just tying to really get through the first few rounds and try and get better each match.”
