The 2020 US Open returned to the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center this week with no fans due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Here’s a roundup of the second day of action.
Serena Williams sets US Open record
Serena Williams had to wait for her 2020 US Open debut. But after a marathon Andy Murray win pushed back the start time of her first-round match, Williams opened her quest to make Grand Slam history with a straight-sets win.
She set a new record the process.
The six-time US Open champion logged a 7-5, 6-3 win over fellow American Kristie Ahn to secure her 102nd career victory in US Open play.
