FLUSHING MEADOWS, New York – Can Coco Gauff and Naomi Osaka back up their opening-round wins?
In Gauff’s case, she’ll face a pretty good veteran in Donna Vekic who will be quite willing to pick it up if she’s even the least bit shaky. But it turned out Vekic was even shakier, and Gauff wriggled through.
And Wimbledon finalist Amanda Anisimova should beware of the rising Maya Joint, whom *many people are saying* has a seriously high ceiling. It was tricky – for a set.
