Day two of the US Open saw some top seeds survive close calls in their opening matches, despite a relatively upset-free day.

On the other hand World Number 1, Jannik Sinner overcame a sluggish start to secure his first victory since being embroiled in a doping controversy. The Italian battled back from a set down to defeat Mackenzie McDonald in four sets (2-6, 6-2, 6-1, 6-2) and advance to the second round of the US Open.
