Elena Rybakina and Coco Gauff win their first-round matches at the US Open and advance to the second round on Tuesday. Both are described as cruising through their opening ties.
The results come as players at the top of the women’s rankings enter the New York swing. Rybakina is the world No. 2, while Gauff is ranked fourth. The reports also note that Jessica Pegula, the tournament’s No. 3 seed, is in position to move up and potentially supplant Aryna Sabalenka at the top of the rankings during the US Open.
On the men’s side, Alexander Zverev is reported to have launched his US Open campaign on Tuesday as the tournament’s top seed. Across the two outlets, the shared focus remains on the women’s second-round advancement by Rybakina and Gauff, alongside the broader ranking context and Zverev’s opening match.
