Stefanos Tsitsipas vs Daniel Galan
Fourth seed Stefanos Tsitsipas will face qualifier Daniel Galan in the opening round of the US Open. Stefanos enters the tournament with good form having finished as runner-up at the Cincinnati Masters. The Greek is yet to win a Grand Slam title and with the absence of top players like Novak Djokovic and Alexander Zverev, it gives him an opportunity to go for his maiden Grand Slam victory. Meanwhile World No.94 Galan won all his qualifier matches in straight sets to reach the main round at the US Open for the first time in his career. Both the players will face for the first time in their career and Tsitsipas is the overwhelming favourite.
Nick Kyrgios vs Thanasi Kokkinakis
Nick Kyrgios and Thanasi Kokkinakis who are doubles partners will face each other for the first time in the singles in the first round of the US Open 2022. Kyrgios has been in terrific form this year as he reached his first-ever final in any Grand Slam tournament this year and finished as runner-up at the Wimbledon. He has also won the Citi Open title and enters US Open as one of the title contenders. He enters the upcoming contest as the favourite but Kokkinakis is someone who knows Kyrgios’ game inside out and could spring a surprise.
Daniil Medvedev vs Stefan Kozlov
Reigning champion Daniil Medvedev started his US Open title defence with victory Monday, cruising past American Stefan Kozlov 6-2, 6-4, 6-0 to reach the second round in New York. The top seed, who defeated Novak Djokovic to lift his maiden major title in Flushing Meadows last year, quickly found his range on the hard courts. He struck his flat groundstrokes with consistency as he overpowered Kozlov to advance after two hours and one minute
Andy Murray vs Francisco Cerundolo
Former World No. 1 Andy Murray maintained his strong first-round record at the US Open on Monday, when he downed 24th seed Francisco Cerundolo 7-5, 6-3, 6-3. The Scot, who lifted the trophy in New York in 2012, fired his backhand through the court, while he recovered from squandering a 5-2 lead in the first set to eventually advance after two hours and 41 minutes.
