Pliskova, Mladenovic and Tsitsipas in the second round

Karolina Pliskova secured her place in the second round by beating Anhelina Kalinina Danielle Parhizkaran-USA TODAY Sports.

The first day of the US has so far unsurprised several stars of the discipline, like Stefanos Tsitsipas world number 12, who logically won against Spaniard Albert Ramos 6-2, 6 -1, 6-1. Among women, world number one Karolína Plísková easily dismissed Anhelina Kalinina 6-4, 6-0, while Frenchwoman Kristina Mladenovic disposed of American Hailey Baptiste 7-5, 6-2. This first day must still allow Novak Djokovic, world number 1 and big favorite, to make his entry into contention against the Bosnian Damir Dzumhur in the opening night session. Previously Alexander Zverev (7th) will have faced Kevin Anderson (117th) in one of the shocks of the first round. Winner in 2018, Naomi Osaka will end the day on the main court against Misaki Doi.
