In a night of surprises , Aryna Sabalenka held herself harmless: The number 2 in the world beat Danielle Collins sovereignly 6: 3, 6: 3 and is thus in the round of 16 in New York. After the marathon match between Carlos Alcaraz and Stefanos Tsitsipas , the game ended after 1 a.m. local time.
Sabalenka shot 34 winning strokes on the other side, with 13 easily justifiable mistakes. Even Collins was 24:16, but in the end he had no chance against the Belarusian power. And that despite the fact that she had made a great run in the summer with two tournament victories in a row.
Sabalenka now meets her doubles partner Elise Mertens, who won 6: 3, 7: 5 against Ons Jabeur.
