Marta Kostyuk made a flying start to her US Open campaign, defeating Australian qualifier Storm Hunter 6-4, 6-1 in just 67 minutes at the Grandstand. The 11th-seeded Ukrainian immediately seized control, racing into a 4-1 lead before Hunter mounted a brief response. Kostyuk held her nerve to close out the opening set after Hunter double-faulted on set point. The second set was far more one-sided, with Kostyuk breaking early and refusing to give her opponent an opportunity to recover. She finished with eight aces and won 59% of the total points, underlining her dominance from start to finish. The victory extends Kostyuk’s impressive Grand Slam form after semi-final appearances at both the French Open and Wimbledon this season. She will next face either Sloane Stephens or Clara Tauson.

Novak Djokovic’s bid for a record 25th Grand Slam title ended with a stunning first-round defeat at the US Open as Argentina’s Mariano Navone prevailed 7-6(5), 5-7, 4-6, 6-2, 6-1 at Arthur Ashe Stadium. The four-hour, 36-minute battle saw Djokovic recover after losing the opening set and move ahead 2-1, but his physical struggles eventually proved decisive. The 39-year-old vomited during the match and battled cramping, back and shoulder problems, while his serve and movement deteriorated as the contest progressed. Navone, ranked 49th in the world, stayed composed despite letting Djokovic back into the match and capitalised on the Serbian’s fading energy. After taking the fourth set 6-2, the Argentine raced through the decider 6-1 to secure the biggest victory of his career.
