NEW YORK (AP) — 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 weather on the hottest day at the tournament so far.
Swiatek, the top-seeded defending champion from Poland, had only slightly more trouble in her 6-3, 6-4 victory over 322nd-ranked Australian Daria Saville in Louis Armstrong Stadium. Swiatek has never lost in a major to a player outside the top 100. “I’m just super happy right now,” Stricker told the Grandstand crowd. “I came out and felt good from the first set on. ... I just kept playing high-level tennis.”
The sixth-seeded American approached the net 18 times, winning 15 of those points, and she credited that newfound net game after struggling to beat German Laura Siegemund in three sets in the first round.
