Yibing Wu entered this campaign in excellent shape, and the first round’s test was straightforward for him. He defeated a hapless Nikoloz Basilashvili, 6-3 6-4 6-0, and served a bagel in the third set to win his first match in the main event of a grand slam. The former Junior No. 1 has only lost one entire match over these eight months of the 2022 campaign. Before last week, he had won three straight Challenger championships in the USA in Orlando, Rome, and Indianapolis. The gifted Chinese teenager lost more than two crucial years of his career between 2019 and 2022 due to injury, but he hasn’t wasted any time since making a comeback early this year. The 22-year-old tennis player made his debut in the top-200 after moving up more than 1000 spots in the ATP rankings in just seven months after winning four lower-level titles and 34 matches so far in 2022.
On his debut at the US Open, Nuno Borges defeated the in-form Ben Shelton in five tense sets to go to the second round. The wildcard participant twice rallied from set deficits to force a tiebreaker, but the Portuguese completely dominated the fifth set. The 25-year-old has faced some adversity in his US Open campaign thus far. Two of his three qualifying matches last week went to a tiebreaker, and on both instances, he overcame a set deficit to defeat Alex Rybakov and Francesco Maestrelli. He had previously won both of his main-draw matches in tour-level competitions at home in Estoril, but he had lost his subsequent matches to Marin Cilic in three sets in 2021 and to Frances Tiafoe in three sets earlier this year.
Nuno Borges and Yibing Wu are scheduled to face each other on Thursday, September 1 in the second round of the 2022 US Open. The fourth and final Grand Slam of the season began on August 29 and will go on until September 11.
