US Open WTA: Gauff and Anisimova Hold Their Ground, Parry Wins a Nail-Biter
Diane Parry faced Renata Zarazua in the second round of the US Open. The Mexican player could approach this match with confidence, having just eliminated Madison Keys in the first round.
Despite an early break by Zarazua in the first set, it was the French player who ultimately took it, winning six consecutive games after being down 2-0.
The second set started similarly with an early break for the Mexican, but this time, despite another debreak, she managed to dictate the game and force a decisive set.
The final set between the two players was extremely tight and went to a decisive tie-break, as despite three break points on each side, none were converted.
Parry quickly took the lead in the tie-break, and despite losing two consecutive points on her serve, the French player ultimately prevailed 6-2, 2-6, 7-6. She will face Marta Kostyuk in the next round.
Meanwhile, the local players Amanda Anisimova and Coco Gauff held their ground, defeating Maya Joint and Donna Vekic respectively. Both won with scores of 7-6, 6-2.
In the next round, Anisimova will face Jaqueline Cristian, and Gauff will take on Magdalena Frech.
