Andreeva dismantles Tjen, eases into US Open second round
- On Tuesday, 19-year-old Mirra Andreeva began her U.S. Open campaign at Flushing Meadows with a dominant 6-2, 6-2 victory over unseeded Indonesian Janice Tjen, keeping her bid for a second Grand Slam title on track.
- Andreeva claimed the French Open title on clay earlier this year and reached the mixed doubles semi-finals with Russian Andrey Rublev last week, demonstrating her comfort across surface types and momentum heading into New York.
- The Russian fifth seed dominated the opening set, closing it out after only 31 minutes following an early break. "I was trying to be very aggressive," Andreeva said afterward.
- Advancing to the second round, Andreeva will face Germany's Eva Lys next. She noted, "It was the first time I was playing her... She's not easy to play against," citing hot and humid conditions in New York.
- Elsewhere at the tournament, second seed Elena Rybakina defeated American Thea Frodin 6-3, 6-2, while American Madison Keys narrowly advanced by beating Russian Alina Korneeva 7-5, 6-4 at Flushing Meadows.
