FLUSHING MEADOWS, New York – It’s the first Friday, and already the draw is whittled down to the point where there are only eight men’s matches on the schedule.
And with all the upsets, only one – No. 2 Alcaraz vs. No. 32 Darderi – is as written up on paper before the start of the tournament.
Of the 16 seeds in this half, only eight “made their seed”, as the tennis expression goes.
