Svitolina Overcomes a Tough Test to Reach Round Three
After a dominant start against Solana Sierra in the opener, Elina Svitolina was pushed to three sets by Maya Joint in the second round, eventually winning 6-2, 6-7, 6-4 to reach the third round. She had opportunities to close out the match in straight sets but was forced into a deciding set before getting the job done.
This is her ninth third-round appearance at the US Open. She has won four of her previous eight matches at this stage but lost the most recent one.
The Ukrainian arrived in New York with concerns over her fitness after sustaining an ankle injury in Toronto and withdrawing from her third-round match in Cincinnati. However, she has shown no obvious signs of struggle so far and has continued her impressive form this week.
Svitolina has posted 11 quarterfinal-or-better results this year, including a semifinal appearance at the Australian Open and a quarterfinal run at the French Open. She is now looking to make another second-week appearance at a Grand Slam.

Kalinskaya Seeks to Break Her US Open Third-Round Barrier
Anna Kalinskaya defeated Xinyu Wang in three sets to reach the third round this week, winning 7-5, 2-6, 6-3. Despite the victory, her performance was not entirely convincing, as she also appeared to struggle physically during the match.
This is her third consecutive third-round appearance at the US Open, but she lost on both of her previous visits to this stage, against Beatriz Haddad Maia in 2024 and Iga Swiatek in 2025.
Kalinskaya has registered more than two main-draw wins at a tournament only twice this year, reaching the quarterfinals in Doha and at the French Open.
She heads into this clash with a 3-4 record in third-round matches at Grand Slams, with two of those four defeats coming this year.
