It was Sharan’s second first-round exit in a Grand Slam this season. He had crashed out in the opening round of the Australian Open, too. The result means he is likely to drop a rung to 48 when the new rankings are issued after the conclusion of the US Open.

Reaching the Wimbledon quarterfinals in 2018 remains his best show at the Majors.

Rohan Bopanna and Leander Paes are also in the men’s doubles draw with their respective partners.

Bopanna and his Canadian partner Denis Shapovalov are up against French fourth seeds Pierre-Hugues Herbert. Paes, who has paired with Argentina’s Guillermo Duran, will open their campaign against Serbia’s Miomir Kecmanovic and Norway’s Casper Ruud.
