Karolína Plíšková started the match well and went quickly into the lead 3: 0. The holder of the wild card then managed to correct the score and even took the service from the native of Louny at 1: 5, but she no longer saved the set. The Czech Republic won it with a ratio of 6: 3.
The second set started as if copying the first set. Plíšková led 3: 0, but then the Czech Republic also chose a weaker moment. She hesitated twice for service and was suddenly leveled. However, the favorite immediately resigned nineteen-year-old McNally, which proved to be crucial. The set was won by the tournament four with a ratio of 6: 4, when she used the second match ball.

“I started well, then I lost my concentration a bit and made slight mistakes. She improved, showed that she has a good return from doubles. I didn’t do much service. I could have it easier with his help,” said Plíšková on the court, who gave eight es and made six double mistakes. Another rival of the Czech number one will be Kazakh Zarina Dijasová or Amanda Anisimová from the USA.

The first set of Kateřina Siniaková’s match with Latvia Sevastová turned into a festival of lost performances. Both players lost service four times and it was no surprise that the set reached a tie-break. In the end, the medalist from Tokyo Siniaková scored there, when she won 8: 6.
The key moment of the second set was the sixth game, where Siniaková broke her sock and gained a decisive lead. The native from Hradec Králové won the set 6: 3 and is in New York in the second round after three years. Siniak was last in the second round of the US Open in 2018. At that time, she got one round further. Now the Czech tennis player Marie Sakkarivá from Greece is waiting for her.
Twenty-two-seated Karolína Muchová will face the Spaniard Sara Sorribesová. Kateřina Siniaková will play with Anastasia Sevastová from Latvia. Successful qualifier Kristýna Plíšková will face Danka Koviničová from Montenegro.
