Osaka and Djokovic to the second round

Japan’s Naomi Osaka, ninth in the world, reached the second round of the United States Championship, one of four tennis tournaments, at Flushing Meadows, beating compatriot Misaki Doi 6-2, 5-7, 6-2. Osaka won fourth in the tournament, which she suspected of her participation due to her withdrawal from the final match of the Cincinnati tournament on Saturday against Belarusian Victoria Azarnka by a strained thigh, her confrontation with her compatriot, ranked 81, without toasting a convincing performance.

Osaka easily won the first set, before losing his level in the second and losing it (5-7), but regained his balance in the decisive third and broke his citizenship twice and finished it 6-2 in his favor to give appointment in the second round with the Italian Camilla Georgi.
Among the men, Serbian seeded Novak Djukevic raised to 24 his first series of victories since earlier this year, with an easy win over Bosnian Damir Dzumhur 6-1, 6-4, 6-1 to arrive to the second round of the US Open. Djokovic is considered an extraordinary candidate to win the title in Flushing Meadows, especially in the absence of the two veteran Spanish stars Rafael Nadal, who preferred not to participate in the American championship with the health measures that accompany him due to the new Corona virus, and Roger Federer, who is absent from the stadiums until the end of the year due to an infection in His knee.
The Serbian is looking to conquer his fourth American championship title to lift his tally to 18 career major titles and move closer to Nadal (19) and Federer’s record held (20).
