At 15-30, Murray produces an unforced error to allow his opponent back to 30-30. Good signs for Murray as he breaks his opponent fairly comfortably and is very much in the ascendancy right now. Murray treats himself to a passionate “Come on!” after creating what looks to be a decisive lead in the second set. But Murray can serve to close it out and move two sets ahead.

Coco Gauff is up next on Ashe, against French qualifier Leolia Jeanjean.

That included more than 4,600 for Monday night alone, making it a sellout. “It is so difficult to really capture what Serena and Venus have done for the sport of tennis. Open trophies above the title: “Serena Williams, A Legacy of Greatness.” And why there was a sense of less importance for matches involving other elite players such as past U.S. “She’s very motivated. Folks were there to watch, or just think about watching, Serena Williams swing her racket the way she did to “And now, she’s ...” Which is why Monday mattered more than the usual Day 1 at a major tournament. She’s done so much,” said Quintella Thorn, a 68-year-old from Columbus, Georgia, making her eighth trip to the U.S.
