Overview

• Novak Djokovic beat 19-year-old Learner Tien 6:1, 7:6 (7:3), 6:2, looked physically taxed at times, and next faces qualifier Zachary Svajda as he chases a record 25th major.
• Aryna Sabalenka began her title defence with a 7:5, 6:1 win over Rebeka Masarova and will meet Polina Kudermetova in the second round.
• Daniil Medvedev lost to Benjamin Bonzi 3:6, 5:7, 7:6 (7:5), 6:0, 4:6 after a photographer entered the court during a pivotal moment, prompting a replayed first serve and a heated exchange with chair umpire Greg Allensworth.
• The United States Tennis Association rescinded the photographer’s accreditation for the remainder of the tournament, and Medvedev smashed a racket and threw multiple rackets into the crowd after the defeat.
• In Germany, live coverage is paywalled via sportdeutschland.tv with an all-access pass and sublicenses on Sky and WOW, and only six German singles players entered the draws, the fewest at a Grand Slam since 1983.
