Aussies Gibson, Walton make early US Open exits
Donna Vekic and Yibing Wu ended the Australian pair’s opening-round hopes, with both matches decided in three sets after missed chances.
- On day one at Flushing Meadows, Donna Vekic defeated rising Australian star Talia Gibson 6-2 4-6 6-3, ending the 22-year-old's US Open campaign in the first round.
- Gibson rallied from a set and service break down, but the Paris Olympics silver medallist Vekic steadied to prevail after two hours and 33 minutes.
- Australia's Adam Walton lost in three sets to Yibing Wu, while qualifier Storm Hunter fell to 11th-seeded Ukrainian Marta Kostyuk in 67 minutes.
- "It's a hard one to swallow," Gibson said, attributing the defeat to unforced errors after failing to convert four break-point chances in the deciding set.
- World number seven Alex de Minaur opens his title quest on Tuesday against Italian qualifier Andrea Guerrieri, with Kim Birrell and Taylah Preston also competing.
