The 2024 US Open kicked off, and a big upset occurred in the first round. The No. 9 seed in women's singles, Sakkari, retired after losing 2-6 in the first set. Chinese golden flower Wang Yafan became the beneficiary, and all four Grand Slams this season have passed the first round. No. 7 seed Zheng Qinwen lost 4-6 in the first set, but quickly recovered in the second set and tied the score 1-1. The battle between Shang Juncheng and Bublik came to the deciding set. The Chinese teenager was in high spirits and made a full effort to get off to a good start, or unlock his first victory in the US Open.

Sakkari is the top player in Greece, a typical power player with powerful serve. Her weakness is that she lacks stability in the stalemate and is prone to mistakes. Wang Yafan has played against her opponent three times in the past, with 1 win and 2 losses, and is at a disadvantage. In today's game, the Chinese golden flower played like crazy in the first set, hitting 2 aces, completing 8 winning points, and her first and second serve scoring rate was higher than her opponent. She forced 5 break points and realized 2 of them. Sakkari made as many as 14 unforced errors and failed to complete a single break in the whole game. She lost the first set 2-6. After that, Sakkari chose to retire. Wang Yafan became the first Chinese golden flower to advance to the second round and became the beneficiary.

Zheng Qinwen is in the limelight this season, becoming the runner-up at the Australian Open, successfully defending her title at the Palermo Open, and winning the women's singles gold medal at the Paris Olympics, making history. In the first round of the US Open against Anisimova, Zheng Qinwen fell behind 1-5 at the beginning of the first set, and was unable to recover after winning three consecutive games, and was defeated 4-6. In the second set, both sides defended the first four games. Zheng Qinwen broke the serve first in the fifth game and turned the advantage into a winning advantage. In the 10th game, she relied on small balls in front of the net, straight line changes, and two inside and outside corner serves to win the second game point, tying the score 6-4, and both sides returned to the same starting line.

Shang Juncheng made his debut in the US Open. After the first set was tied at 4, he broke and then held to win 6-4. In the second set, the 27th seed Bublik responded with 6-3 to tie the game. In the deciding set, Shang Juncheng failed to break back after losing his third serve. He is currently 3-5 behind his opponent. It will be very difficult to get off to a good start. Come on!
