Iga Swiatek and Jannik Sinner showed their championship pedigree at the U.S. Open on Tuesday with commanding displays at the Arthur Ashe Stadium, walloping their first-round opponents on the third day of first-round action at the newly expanded major, Reuters reported.
Wimbledon champion Swiatek arrived in pristine form after capturing the Cincinnati title and made quick work of Emiliana Arango 6-1 6-2 in just an hour, never facing a break point.
The 2022 winner acknowledged the unique challenge of New York's atmosphere afterwards.
"Every year is tough, because New York is just so loud, and it's hard to find that balance off the court," she said, according to Reuters.
