NEW YORK: Reigning US Open champion Naomi Osaka confronted severe nerves in a rocky start to her title defence on Tuesday while men's contenders Dominic Thiem and Stefanos Tsitsipas tumbled out in the first round.
The top seed goes on to face Poland's Magda Linette, who captured her maiden WTA title in the Bronx last week. "I got very tired and exhausted after two sets. I'm far away from 100 percent," Thiem said."It was not the real me there on the court." "I wish that all the chair umpires were like Mohamed Lahyani because I believe he's the best out in the game, and we need more like him in tennis because he's fair to everyone. I feel like some of them have preferences when they are on the court."
Wimbledon champion Simona Halep, ousted in the opening round the past two years at Flushing Meadows, outlasted US lucky loser Nicole Gibbs 6-3, 3-6, 6-2 while two-time runner-up Caroline Wozniacki rebounded from a woeful start to beat Wang Yafan in three sets.
