After a number of showcase tournaments, which were mostly criticized for their carelessness and a number of infections with the corona virus, tennis returned to raise its head tonight, in an orderly fashion, when the Cincinnati tournament kicked off. Due to the required restrictions, the tournament was moved to New York.
Andy Murray is the prominent name among the winners of the first round. The comingback Scot defeated American Francis Tiapo in three sets, 6: 7, 6: 3, 1: 6. Top 5, Sasha Zebrav, is waiting for Marie in the next round.
Other notable results: Milos Raunic - Sam Quarry 4: 6, 4: 6, Felix Eliasim - Nicholas Basilashvili 4: 6, 1: 6, Pablo Busta - Dusan Lejovic 5: 7, 1: 6, Dennis Shapovalov - Marin C 'Elitz' 3: 6, 3: 6. Also advanced to the next stage: Riley Opelka, Jan Leonard and Borna Choric.
In the women’s tournament, Greece’s Maria Scari (ranked 34) defeated Corey (50) 1: 6, 3: 6. Additional immigrants to the next stage: Kiki Maldanovich, Katya Alexandranova and Brendara Para.
