Thiem made the French Open semi-finals in May and is a rising star, having beaten both Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal already this year.
Serena Williams returns a shot to Ekaterina Makarova, of Russian Federation, during the first round of the U.S. Open tennis tournament, Tuesday, Aug. 30, 2016, in NY. Neither player has reached double digits with aces in a single outing, as Williams recorded zero in her last match. The siblings are coming off quite contrasting first-round outings on Tuesday. The run at the Olympics was for sure a great incentive, as well working as a confirmation of his body being fit again for competing at the highest level. “That’s all I can say”.
The vulgar comments came during the first set as Dzumhur was trying to serve.
Another key match comes in the nightcap on Ashe, when 2009 champion Juan Martin del Potro takes on 19th-seeded American Steve Johnson.
“I’m so glad to be in the second week of a Grand Slam after three or four years”, del Potro said. “What if he does get a wild card and he plays me in the first round”, Johnson asked, before the decision was made.
Venus and Serena Williams are set to play back-to-back, second-round matches Thursday in Arthur Ashe Stadium, which may need its new retractable roof for much of the day because light rain is falling and more is expected.

Her 6-3 3-6 6-2 exit against 72nd-ranked Katerina Siniakova of the Czech Republic, a player who only once has been as far as the third round at a major tournament, was filled with 46 unforced errors by Bouchard, who also was treated for blisters on her feet.

Thiem, a 23-year-old Austrian, is considered one of the game’s top young players. While the ATP World Tour year end awards have yet to be handed out, there is no doubt, in my mind, that Dominic Thiem will win most improved. “I had a few breakpoints at the first set of the match, and I couldn’t take it”.
Murray joined countryman Kyle Edmund in the fourth round at Flushing Meadows, and a third could join them if Daniel Evans can win his match now underway against third-seeded Stan Wawrinka. Donaldson is ranked a career-best 122nd.
American Sam Querrey couldn’t build on his upset of Novak Djokovic in his next Grand Slam. But against German veteran Julia Goerges on Thursday, Williams won 6-2, 6-3 in 78 minutes. It was a tough opening matchup for Querrey – Tipsarevic is a former top-10 player whose ranking is down to 250th after a series of injuries. Delpo has had to miss multiple U.S. Opens due to the injuries which have dogged him over the years. Later that day, he stunned Djokovic by first defeating him and then sobbing on his shoulder as they embraced at the net.
