While Carlos Alcaraz and Ons Jabeur progressed to the second round, Caroline Garcia and Karen Khachanov suffered shock defeats in the first round of the US Open on Tuesday.
Defending champion and World No. 1 Alcaraz led 6-2, 3-2 when his opponent - Germany’s Dominik Koepfer - was forced to retire after he rolled his ankle minutes into the match.
Fifth-seeded Tunisian Jabeur, who lost to Iga Swiatek in last year’s final, managed to beat Colombia’s Camila Osorio in straight sets despite suffering from breathing difficulties.
Aryna Sabalenka and Jessica Pegula, second and third seeds respectively, also progressed to the round of 64.
However, Caroline Garcia, who reached the semifinals last year, went down 4-6, 1-6 to Chinese qualifier Yafan Wang.
Similarly on the men’s side, last year’s semifinalist Karen Khachanov was eliminated after 2-6, 4-6, 2-6 defeat to local wildcard Michael Mmoh.
