Follow the fourth-round action at Flushing MeadowsGet in touch with Katy via emailWith Pegula pushing and probing once again on Li’s serve at 15-30, time is starting to run out for the less well known of the two Americans. 15-30 turns into 30-40. We’ve seen this before. But then Li tears up the script, sending down a rare stinging second serve to save the break point, before holding from deuce. Pegula leads 6-1, 4-2.Pegula is still bossing it on Ashe, leading 6-1, 3-1. And a glance through today’s early results brings up the name “Hewitt”. It’s not the 2001 champion Lleyton, however, but his 16-year-old son Cruz, who’s suffered a 6-3, 6-0 defeat in the first round of the boys’ singles to the American fourth seed Benjamin Willwerth. Lleyton was in the stands watching. Continue reading...

But both were against qualifiers; Rybakina, the 2022 Wimbledon champ, represents a huge step up in quality.

But Rybakina backs up the break and it’s 3-0.Rybakina underlines why she’s the best server in the women’s game with some pinpoint deliveries to get to 40-15 in the opening game.
