US Open R1 - Osaka back in style, Djokovic's brotherly revenge, Thiem + Collins bow out

Tennis Weekly

Kim and Chris catch up on the opening round’s action from Flushing Meadows, as the US Open gets underway in New York.

With comfortable wins for defending Champions Novak Djokovic and Coco Gauff, former Champion Naomi Osaka delighting fans with a stylish win over Jelena Ostapenko, and Danielle Collins refusing her retirement ceremony after a first round loss, there is plenty of action to sink our teeth into in just the first day and a half!

Iga Swiatek endures a gritty opponent in Kamila Rakhimova, whilst Harriet Dart and Katie Boulter get the win for the Brits, and Holger Rune, Felix Auger-Aliassime and Stefanos Tsitsipas have tournaments they’d rather forget with early losses. Meanwhile, Kim and Chris unpick some controversial comments made by Ben Shelton, and Chris tries to recover from another heartbreaking defeat for Sloane Stephens.

Collect A Set predictions from Joel, Kim and Chris are also revealed - let’s see who will manage to avoid the Slam Spoon of Shame come the tournament’s end!
