US Open 2023, August 22- Sep 10, 2023

Not looking good so far

[vparam]

She is struggling to hit any ball above her shoulder. Badly missed an overhead and a swinging volley in that last game.

Ankita lost 2-6,2-6. Just wasn’t her day. Have no idea what her chances of getting a LL spot will be.

Doubles draw is out....

Yuki/Demoliner up against the 9th seeds in R1, while Bops/Ebden will be up against a couple of Australian Top-70 singles players..


[R1] (6) R. Bopanna (IND) /M. Ebden (AUS) v. C. O'Connell (AUS) /A. Vukic (AUS)

[R1] Y. Bhambri (IND) /M. Demoliner (BRA) v. (9) H. Nys (MON) /J. Zielinski (POL)

I'm sure Saki (ALT #1) and Jeevan (ALT #6) will be waiting on the sidelines hoping for some withdrawals to get in as ALTs....

[sameerph]

The cut have dropped 6-7 places at all the slams this year for doubles. So, Saketh will have to be extremely unlucky not to get in and fair chance for Jeevan too. Jeevan in fact has got in as alternates with Bala in all 3 slams this year.

[Omkara]

Ankita lost 2-6,2-6. Just wasn’t her day. Have no idea what her chances of getting a LL spot will be.

Any update on LL spots?

[prashanthm]

Saki made it in.... Jeevan is still waiting...

[R1] A. Karatsev (RUS) /S. Myneni (IND) v. L. Djere (SRB) /M. Huesler (SUI)

[sameerph]

Bops and Ebden start with an easy win.

[R1] (6) Rohan Bopanna (IND) /Mathew Ebden (AUS) d. Christopher O'Connell (AUS) /Alexander Vukic (AUS) 64 62

[sameerph]

Today ( Thursday) Saketh and Karatsev play their first round match first up at 11 am local time on court 9, Yuki and Demoliner play fourth match on same court. Yuki-Demoliner have a tougher match against 9th seeds and Australian open finalists.


Also in junior qualifying, Aryan Shah who is 4th seed and Manas Dhamne who is 12th seed play their Q1 matches.

Also Rohan along with his Indonesian partner Aldila Sutjiadi play their R1 match in mixed doubles.

[sameerph]

Saketh and Karatsev lost after winning the first set.

[R1] Saketh Myneni (IND) / Aslan Karatsev (RUS) l. Marc-Andrea Huesler (AUT) / Laslo Djere (SRB) 76(4) 36 26

[Dinesh]

Manas lost 6-4 4-6 6-10
Aryan won 6-4 6-4, faces Estonian Markus Molder in the FQR.

[sameerph]

Yuki also out of US open in first round.

[R1] Yuki Bhambri (IND) /Marcelo Demoliner (BRA) l. (9) Hugo Nys (MON) /Jan Zielinski (POL) 36 57

[Dinesh]

Aryan Shah qualifies for the main draw here. Beats the Estonian opponent 6-4 0-6 10-5.

[sameerph]

That was a good win by Aryan over #84 ranked player. I thought he had bungled after 06 loss in second set but he came back strongly in super tie break.

So, we have Aryan and Yuvan in singles main draw of juniors.

[sameerph]

Another straight sets win for Rohan and Ebden. They are looking good.

[R2] (6) Rohan Bopanna (IND) /Mathew Ebden (AUS) d. Andrey Golubev (KAZ) / Roman Saifilin (RUS) 63 63

Next,

[PQF] (6) Rohan Bopanna (IND) /Mathew Ebden (AUS) vs. Julien Cash (GBR) / Henry Patten (GBR)
