Coco Gauff je u New Yorku branila titulu iz prošle sezone i činilo se da je favoritkinja domaće publike na dobrom putu da dogura daleko na još jednom Grand Slam turniru. No, dogodilo se pravo iznenađenje.
Nju je u osmini finala izbacila sunarodnjakinja Emma Navarro (12. WTA) rezultatom 2:1, po setovima 6:3, 4:6 i 6:3.

Kod muškaraca nije bilo nikakvih iznenađenja. Domaći favorit Frances Tiafoe u četiri seta savladao je Đokovićevog "krvnika" Alexeia Popyrina (6:4, 7:6, 2:6 i 6:3).
Is it just anecdotal, or has the handshake game this US Open been pretty ... full of love overall?
