At her latest tournament at Cincinnati, the 29th seed at the US Open fell to Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina 6-2, 6-4.
Alison Riske’s 2022 season ever since the grass season ended has been far from ideal. The American tennis player, after suffering a third round exit at the 2022 Wimbledon Championships, never really got going in any of the competitions she participated in. Riske suffered early exits at the Cincinnati Masters, Canadian Open and Silicon Valley Classic. At her latest tournament at Cincinnati, the 29th seed at the US Open fell to Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina 6-2, 6-4. Riske will kick off her 2022 US Open campaign with a first round match against compatriot Eleana Yu.
Eleana Yu has been out of competitive tennis action for almost a month now. Her last match was at the ITF US 35A where she was beaten in the qualifying round by Dalayna Hewitt. Before that, Yu had taken part in the ITF USA 32A competition where she reached the the round of 16 but was beaten by Hina Inoue. Only 17 years of age, Yu might not have that uch of a chance to go too deep into the US Open, but the experience will certainly play a big role in her career.
Alison Riske and Eleana Yu are scheduled to face one another in the first round match of the US Open 2022 on Monday, August 29 at 8:30 pm IST.
