Overview

  • Eva Lys defeated qualifier Francesca Jones 6:0, 7:5 after recent back pain linked to a rheumatic autoimmune condition and a withdrawal in Cleveland last week.
  • Next up for Lys is No. 21 seed Linda Noskova as she chases a first US Open third-round berth.
  • Laura Siegemund outlasted No. 20 Diana Schnaider 7:6 (7:3), 2:6, 6:3 while competing with a heavily bandaged thigh and minimal pre-tournament training.
  • Siegemund’s second-round opponent will be either Elina Avanesyan or Anastassija Sacharowa, with the matchup to be determined.
  • Germany entered only three women in the main draw, and with Maria eliminated on Monday, Lys and Siegemund are the country’s two remaining singles players.
