Aussies Sweeny, Schoolkate march on at US Open
Australia will have at least seven players in round two after Sweeny and Schoolkate won their matches at Flushing Meadows.
- On Wednesday, Dane Sweeny and Tristan Schoolkate reached the US Open second round. Sweeny advanced when Corentin Moutet retired injured, while Schoolkate defeated American qualifier Nishesh Basavareddy 7-6 , 3-6, 6-3, 6-4.
- These victories ensure Australia has at least seven players in the second round, joining Taylah Preston, Kim Birrell, Maya Joint, Alexei Popyrin, and James Duckworth in advancing.
- For Sweeny, this success marks his maiden overseas grand slam victory, earning him nearly $266,000 in prize money. The 25-year-old once relied on a GoFundMe account as a teenager to fund his tennis dream.
- Conversely, Thanasi Kokkinakis formally withdrew from the tournament before his first match, citing an ankle injury sustained in Cincinnati two weeks ago.
- Rain-Interrupted schedules delayed campaigns for sixth-seeded Alex de Minaur and Daria Kasatkina. Sweeny and Schoolkate face highly ranked Italian opponents in their upcoming second-round matches.
