Swiatek & Ruud race into US Open mixed doubles QF; Pegula & Draper beat Raducanu and Alcaraz
Agencies New York Fresh off her Cincinnati title last night, Iga Swiatek joined her doubles partner Casper Ruud at the Arthur Ashe Stadium for the revamped mixed doubles event of the US Open which got underway at the Flushing Meadows on Tuesday. The No. 3 seeds swiftly moved into the semi-finals beating the American-Italian pair of Caty McNally and Lorenzo Musetti. Despite its quick 46 minutes, the match proved to be a lot more competitive than the scoreline indicated as Swiatek and Ruud won in straight sets 4-1, 4-2. In the first set, Swiatek/Ruud picked up where they left off in the first round: hot on serve. However, service games did not come easy for them this time around as McNally and Musetti put up some resistance. Swiatek/Ruud faced one break point on the Pole's opening service game, but were able to hold service. As for McNally/Musetti, they faced one break point on the American's service game, and conceded the game, as Swiatek/Ruud led 3-1 in the first. Ruud would hold serve once again to help the Polish/Norwegian duo claim the first set, 4-1, in a quick 16 minutes. Set two proved to be a lot more competitive between the two pairs. The first service games for the male servers proved to be a bit difficult, but they were able to navigate those tight service games with brilliant shots from their female counterparts. At a crucial moment in the fifth game, Swiatek/Ruud raised their level displaying some quality rallies to manufacture three break points, finally converting on the third time of asking at the deciding point to go up 3-2. Ruud would then serve out the match for the Polish/Norwegian duo, sending them into the semi-finals. Between both the first round and quarter-final match, Swiatek and Ruud have yet to lose a game on serve, and only faced two break points in their last two matches. In the first round, Swiatek and Ruud needed only 39 minutes to beat Americans Madison Keys and Frances Tiafoe, 4-1, 4-2. McNally and Musetti had defeated the fan-favourite pairing of Naomi Osaka and Gael Monfils, 5-3, 4-2 in the first US Open mixed doubles match. Top seeds Pegula & Draper beat Raducanu & Alcaraz The No.1 seeds Jessica Pegula and Jack Draper beat crowd favourites Emma Raducanu and Carlos Alcaraz in their first round. The American/British pair were able to counter the flashy shots of winning 4-2, 4-2. In the first set, the top seeds were off to a quick start with an early break during Alcaraz's opening service game, easily leading 2-0. As the match progressed, the Spanish/British duo held their first two service games and fell into a rhythm, despite being down a break. They managed to manufacture a break point as Pegula/Draper served for the first set, but a loose forehand by Alcaraz ended the comeback and the America/British duo took the first set 4-2. Brilliant tennis continued in the second set from both pairings, but the No.1 seeds continued to put pressure on their British/Spanish opponents. Pegula/Draper converted a break point to go up 2-1. Raducanu/Alcaraz served to stay in the match and fended off three match points, holding serve for 3-2. The British/Spanish duo would continue their strong form and force a deciding point and fifth match point, where the No.1 seeds would convert, winning the match in thrilling fashion. Pegula and Draper were due to face Mirra Andreeva and Daniil Medvedev in the quarter-finals.
