Iga Swiatek and Jannik Sinner showed their championship pedigree at the US Open on Tuesday with commanding displays at the Arthur Ashe Stadium, walloping their first-round opponents on the third day of first-round action at the newly expanded major.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wimbledon champion Swiatek arrived in pristine form after capturing the Cincinnati title<\/a> and made quick work of Emiliana Arango 6-1 6-2 in just an hour, never facing a break point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2022 winner acknowledged the unique challenge of New York\u2019s atmosphere afterwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEvery year is tough, because New York is just so loud, and it\u2019s hard to find that balance off the court,\u201d she said.The Italian, who had entered last year\u2019s tournament under the dark cloud of a doping controversy after escaping a ban despite failing two drug tests, enjoyed strong crowd support as he set up a second-round meeting with Australian Alexei Popyrin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With both day matches wrapping up in well under three hours, organisers moved 21st seed Linda Noskova\u2019s clash with Hungary\u2019s Dalma Galfi to the main stadium, where the Czech prevailed 6-4 7-5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coco Gauff<\/a> had a tougher time, needing three sets to overcome Australia\u2019s Ajla Tomljanovic 6-4 6-7(2) 7-5 in the evening session on Ashe after dropping her opening service game and hitting consecutive double faults while serving at 5-4 in the decider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The American, who recently split with mentor Matt Daly and hired biomechanics specialist Gavin MacMillan to address service issues, remained philosophical about her ongoing struggles.\u201cHonestly, it\u2019s been really tough,\u201d she said. \u201cOne of the days was mentally exhausting, but I\u2019m trying. I mean, (my serve) wasn\u2019t the best today, but \u2026 it came in when it mattered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s an improvement from last week. I\u2019m just trying to improve with each match.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next up for Gauff is Paris Olympics silver medallist Donna Vekic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Twice former champion Naomi Osaka<\/a> dismantled Belgium\u2019s Greet Minnen 6-3 6-4 while sporting a crystal-encrusted red Nike outfit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI just thought it would be really fun to do a New York under the lights,\u201d Osaka explained of her custom ensemble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is my night outfit, so hopefully I\u2019ll wear my day outfit next time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
