Mikael Ymer was the first out of the Swedish duo when he was on track 12 at Flushing Meadows against Filip Krajinovic of Serbia.
But just over two hours later, the adventure was over for the 21-year-old Swede.
Ymer had to fight from the beginning against Krajinovic, 26 seeded. But after clearly losing the first set, 2-6, he took command in the second. Looting gave him a 5-2 lead, but the Serbian did not give up and managed to arrange a tiebreak, where he showed no pardon and won 7-3.
Ymer, who in addition to his nine aces, struggled with the first serve during the match, then was unable to stand up. 2 hours and 15 minutes after the first ball of the match, Krajinovic was the winner 6-2, 7-6, 6-3.
Thus he will face the American Marcos Girón in the round of 16.
At the same time as the match ball was hit in Ymer’s match, Rebecca Peterson kept pace with Belgian Kirsten Flipken at some distance.
The two players followed each other during the first set. Peterson, who for the first time in his career was seeded in a Grand Slam tournament, managed to break the Belgian’s serve, but Flipkens broke back and the first set went to a tiebreaker where Flipkens was the biggest number.
The second set continued where the first ended, evenly but with a slight advantage for the Belgian. Peterson had an early serve breakthrough against him and was forced to chase to keep from losing the match. In the end, it didn’t work anymore and Flipkens won 7-6, 6-4.
