on the second day of the first round of the 2024 us open, many high-seeded players appeared, including swiatek, collins, ostapenko, etc. in the matches that have ended so far, swiatek advanced 2-0, but collins and ostapenko were eliminated in the first round. in addition, two chinese players, zheng saisai and zhang shuai, also stopped in the first round and bid farewell to the singles competition in advance.

as the top seed of the tournament, swiatek's first-round opponent was the lucky loser laksimova. in the first set, swiatek won with difficulty, 6-4, and then continued to fight hard in the second set. the two sides went to a tiebreak, and swiatek narrowly won 8-6. she advanced to the second round with a total score of 2-0, almost encountering an upset.

the match between ostapenko and naomi osaka is the first grand slam champion contest of this year's us open. ostapenko is the french open champion and is listed as the no. 10 seed. naomi osaka is the double champion of the australian open and the us open. her latest world ranking is 88th. it is also related to the fact that she did not play many games and did not earn more points.
