Van Uytvanck beat Venus Williams 6-1, 7-6.
Venus holds on to take us to a tiebreak, in which she leads 3-1 with a sumptuous crosscourt winner. Van Uytvanck matches it with similar quality shots and soon it’s a mini break and 5-3. Williams responds with two forehand winners to bring it back to 5-5, but a strong return from Van Utvanck gives her a match point, which she eventually puts away with a backhand volley into the net. Is this Flushing Meadows farewell for Venus Williams? She gave some of her best in a thrilling second set after being beaten in the first. And with that, this blog bids you farewell – until the night wakes up in just over an hour or so, with Raducanu, Nadal and more. So stay by your side. Goodbye. Sinner won the second set 6-2 to level the match with Altmaier at one set all. After a long pamper and comfort break during which it seemed to be pretty rough in the stands, they return for the third set. Venus gives Van Uyvanck an opening at 15-15 with a loose volley at the net, which her opponent puts past her. Williams rallies to 40-30, however, with some smart and forensic serving, and seals the gap for 5-5. Elsewhere in the women’s draw, No 13 seed Belinda Bencic is in a crucial position against Andrea Petkovic. It’s 3-3 in the third set and Badosa leads Tsurenko 2-1 in the final set, which has gone on serve so far. On Arthur Ashe Stadium, Van Uytvancnk’s first double fault gives Venus a break point at 4-4, and her first ace saves it. Aphrodite then brings the years back with a portly hand down the line to put it back in place, and this time the Belgian secures the serve. She leads 5-4 and Venus must now serve to stay in the match. Sinner, who was moving strongly in the previous game and fighting for his best form throughout, chooses that moment to produce his best return game yet, sealing a break with an unanswered and ferocious backhand down the line. He leads 4-2 in the second set now. Women’s No. 4 Paula Badosa has leveled her match against Ukraine’s Lesia Tsurenko, winning a long, swinging second set in a tiebreak. Some cracking tennis being played by Daniel Altmaier and Jannik Sinner at Louis Armstrong, with the German producing marginally more than that, and he just held again, through some classy winners, in a tough service game to keep it on serve at 2-2 in the second set. Altmaier leads by one set. Oh, and Venus is broken this time by the athletic and powerful Van Uytbanck. We return to serve at 3-3 in the second set. It was a good day for Britain’s men, as discussed, and here’s Tumaini Carayol’s report from New York on the progress of Cameron Norrie and Dan Evans: It only took a few glimpses of the first round match between Cameron Norrie and Benoît Paire to make it clear that the French player was in one of his moods. He put forehands on the back fence and then backhanded into the bottom of the net. He had just arrived, yet he seemed determined to get off the field as quickly as possible. An epic slog of a service game from Williams, but she survives it. An errant forehand at the net gives Van Uytvanck a break point, but she digs to save it and then pushes her opponent back to force a backhand into the net. But we go for a fourth time to win before Williams hits a stunning forehand down the line. Again she can’t hold the advantage and Van Uytvanck earns another break point, again saved. The sixth deuce is a good time to hit an ace, as Venus does, and another hard serve finally makes it up – 3-1, second set, with Van Uytvanck a set ahead. Updated at 21.23 BST Altamier wins the first set against Sinner 7-5. A great backhand passing shot gets Altmaier going. But at 15-15 Sinner tops a grueling and incredibly long rally with a ferocious forehand winner. But Altmaier matches him by coaching a brilliant rally at 30-30 that he seals with a backhand volley into the net. It gives him set point, which he takes after another thrilling rally. Is another shock on the cards? I suspect this will go as far as some matches have today. Oh, and Venus Williams is so competitive. Having come out on top in that first set, he promptly breaks Van Uytvanck in the second, consolidates and currently leads 2-1. Some tired shots from Sinner give the powerful Altmaier a break point, which he takes after a long rally, when the German pushes Sinner back and forces him into a forehand error. He will now serve for the first set at 6-5. As Sweet Child of Mine blasts over the PA system. They should do it at Wimbledon. Holger Rune’s promising French Open quarter-final is over, the No 28 from Norway outlasted Germany’s Peter Gojowczyk in straight sets. And Paula Badosa, the women’s No 4, has rallied in the second set against Lesia Tsurenko, leading her 4-3 with a break in her favour, having lost the opening set. Van Uytvanck wins the first set against Venus Williams 6-1. That’s pretty one-sided, it has to be said, and a cute, carefree drop shot that a big Williams can only fire into the net seals the first set for the Belgian. It’s much harder to call Louis Armstrong, with the wind increasing the challenge for Altmeier and Schinner, who are locked at 5-5 in the first set. Venus Williams takes a break as she plays Alison van Utvank. Photo: Kena Betancur/AFP/Getty Images Updated at 21.42 BST Loud cheers echo around Arthur Ashe Stadium as Venus gets on the scoreboard, forcing Van Uytvanck to score at the end of a grueling service game. The seven-time grand slam winner trails 1-4, first set. Meanwhile, men’s No. 15 Marin Cilic is set against Germany’s Maximilian Marterer and currently leads that match 6-3, 3-2. Altmaier had started better against Sinner, breaking for a 3-2 lead against Louis Armstrong, but the Italian responded with some excellent returns and shots to break straight away to love. And Venus Williams has broken for the second time to go 0-3 down against Alison Van Uytvanck.
Elena Rybakina knocked out by Clara Burrell 6-4, 6-4
Rybakina drops a return at the net to give Burel match point, which the Frenchwoman takes with a deep backhand down the line. The shocks continue, after the exits of Halep and Kasatkina yesterday. And another seed in trouble is Spain’s Paula Badosa, the No 4 seed who lost the first set to Ukraine’s Lesia Tsurenko. Her compatriot Fernando Verdasco did however, beating Korea’s Soonwoo Kwon in straight sets. Updated at 20.35 BST There isn’t the crowd or crowd at Arthur Ashe for Venus Williams that there was for her sister last night, but there is plenty of raucous support. And Venus will need it as she is finally broken, on the fourth break point, by Van Uytvacnck, the Belgian looking bright and dangerous in that opening game of the match. Again Rybakina wastes a good position on Burel’s serve turning 0-30 into 40-30 with a couple of overhit returns followed by a decent Burel forehand winner in the corner of the court. This forehand has some venom and accuracy, and is sometimes even produced as Burel holds, through two decks. He leads 4-2 in this set and is two games away from a major upset. At Louis Armstrong, the ever-watchable Jannik Sinner is on a roll against Germany’s Daniel Altmaier, winning his first service game, while those distant cheers must surely be for Venus Williams at the Arthur Ashes Stadium. She is about to start her match against Alison Van Uytvanck of Belgium. Rybakina shows signs of regaining her mojo with some sharp returns to open Burel’s serve, but her French opponent, ranked 131st in the world, again battles to break and serves to hold. Burel has never made it past the first round here, but if Rybakina doesn’t find a break, she will this time. Sloane Stephens came through 1-6, 6-3, 6-3 against Greet Minnen. That’s quite an impressive turnaround from the 2017 champion. Meanwhile, Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina, 25th here, is in trouble on Court 12 against France’s Clara Burel, who is a set and a break down 6-4. 2-0. Dan Evans speaks: “I played really well, I thought,” he says, “it’s nice to be back on the court – it’s been a while since Cincinnati so I was a little nervous, but it was nice to get out and play. I’m playing really well but it’s only the first round again and the start of a new tournament and I hit the ball well which was nice. I served well and dictated fairly well. As for the pitches, the main pitches seem a bit slower, but this one was pretty fast I thought, but everyone has different opinions, so don’t listen to me.” An Australian, James Duckworth (ranked No 83) or Chris O’Connell (ranked 118), awaits in the second round. This is already the second time four Britons have reached the second round at Flushing Meadows since 1974, reality fans

Van Uytvanck beat Venus Williams 6-1, 7-6.
Venus holds on to take us to a tiebreak, in which she leads 3-1 with a sumptuous crosscourt winner. Van Uytvanck matches it with similar quality shots and soon it’s a mini break and 5-3. Williams responds with two forehand winners to bring it back to 5-5, but a strong return from Van Utvanck gives her a match point, which she eventually puts away with a backhand volley into the net. Is this Flushing Meadows farewell for Venus Williams? She gave some of her best in a thrilling second set after being beaten in the first. And with that, this blog bids you farewell – until the night wakes up in just over an hour or so, with Raducanu, Nadal and more. So stay by your side. Goodbye. Sinner won the second set 6-2 to level the match with Altmaier at one set all. After a long pamper and comfort break during which it seemed to be pretty rough in the stands, they return for the third set. Venus gives Van Uyvanck an opening at 15-15 with a loose volley at the net, which her opponent puts past her. Williams rallies to 40-30, however, with some smart and forensic serving, and seals the gap for 5-5. Elsewhere in the women’s draw, No 13 seed Belinda Bencic is in a crucial position against Andrea Petkovic. It’s 3-3 in the third set and Badosa leads Tsurenko 2-1 in the final set, which has gone on serve so far. On Arthur Ashe Stadium, Van Uytvancnk’s first double fault gives Venus a break point at 4-4, and her first ace saves it. Aphrodite then brings the years back with a portly hand down the line to put it back in place, and this time the Belgian secures the serve. She leads 5-4 and Venus must now serve to stay in the match. Sinner, who was moving strongly in the previous game and fighting for his best form throughout, chooses that moment to produce his best return game yet, sealing a break with an unanswered and ferocious backhand down the line. He leads 4-2 in the second set now. Women’s No. 4 Paula Badosa has leveled her match against Ukraine’s Lesia Tsurenko, winning a long, swinging second set in a tiebreak. Some cracking tennis being played by Daniel Altmaier and Jannik Sinner at Louis Armstrong, with the German producing marginally more than that, and he just held again, through some classy winners, in a tough service game to keep it on serve at 2-2 in the second set. Altmaier leads by one set. Oh, and Venus is broken this time by the athletic and powerful Van Uytbanck. We return to serve at 3-3 in the second set. It was a good day for Britain’s men, as discussed, and here’s Tumaini Carayol’s report from New York on the progress of Cameron Norrie and Dan Evans: It only took a few glimpses of the first round match between Cameron Norrie and Benoît Paire to make it clear that the French player was in one of his moods. He put forehands on the back fence and then backhanded into the bottom of the net. He had just arrived, yet he seemed determined to get off the field as quickly as possible. An epic slog of a service game from Williams, but she survives it. An errant forehand at the net gives Van Uytvanck a break point, but she digs to save it and then pushes her opponent back to force a backhand into the net. But we go for a fourth time to win before Williams hits a stunning forehand down the line. Again she can’t hold the advantage and Van Uytvanck earns another break point, again saved. The sixth deuce is a good time to hit an ace, as Venus does, and another hard serve finally makes it up – 3-1, second set, with Van Uytvanck a set ahead. Updated at 21.23 BST Altamier wins the first set against Sinner 7-5. A great backhand passing shot gets Altmaier going. But at 15-15 Sinner tops a grueling and incredibly long rally with a ferocious forehand winner. But Altmaier matches him by coaching a brilliant rally at 30-30 that he seals with a backhand volley into the net. It gives him set point, which he takes after another thrilling rally. Is another shock on the cards? I suspect this will go as far as some matches have today. Oh, and Venus Williams is so competitive. Having come out on top in that first set, he promptly breaks Van Uytvanck in the second, consolidates and currently leads 2-1. Some tired shots from Sinner give the powerful Altmaier a break point, which he takes after a long rally, when the German pushes Sinner back and forces him into a forehand error. He will now serve for the first set at 6-5. As Sweet Child of Mine blasts over the PA system. They should do it at Wimbledon. Holger Rune’s promising French Open quarter-final is over, the No 28 from Norway outlasted Germany’s Peter Gojowczyk in straight sets. And Paula Badosa, the women’s No 4, has rallied in the second set against Lesia Tsurenko, leading her 4-3 with a break in her favour, having lost the opening set. Van Uytvanck wins the first set against Venus Williams 6-1. That’s pretty one-sided, it has to be said, and a cute, carefree drop shot that a big Williams can only fire into the net seals the first set for the Belgian. It’s much harder to call Louis Armstrong, with the wind increasing the challenge for Altmeier and Schinner, who are locked at 5-5 in the first set. Venus Williams takes a break as she plays Alison van Utvank.

The seven-time grand slam winner trails 1-4, first set. Meanwhile, men’s No. 15 Marin Cilic is set against Germany’s Maximilian Marterer and currently leads that match 6-3, 3-2. Altmaier had started better against Sinner, breaking for a 3-2 lead against Louis Armstrong, but the Italian responded with some excellent returns and shots to break straight away to love. And Venus Williams has broken for the second time to go 0-3 down against Alison Van Uytvanck.
Elena Rybakina knocked out by Clara Burrell 6-4, 6-4
Rybakina drops a return at the net to give Burel match point, which the Frenchwoman takes with a deep backhand down the line. The shocks continue, after the exits of Halep and Kasatkina yesterday. And another seed in trouble is Spain’s Paula Badosa, the No 4 seed who lost the first set to Ukraine’s Lesia Tsurenko. Her compatriot Fernando Verdasco did however, beating Korea’s Soonwoo Kwon in straight sets. Updated at 20.35 BST There isn’t the crowd or crowd at Arthur Ashe for Venus Williams that there was for her sister last night, but there is plenty of raucous support. And Venus will need it as she is finally broken, on the fourth break point, by Van Uytvacnck, the Belgian looking bright and dangerous in that opening game of the match. Again Rybakina wastes a good position on Burel’s serve turning 0-30 into 40-30 with a couple of overhit returns followed by a decent Burel forehand winner in the corner of the court. This forehand has some venom and accuracy, and is sometimes even produced as Burel holds, through two decks. He leads 4-2 in this set and is two games away from a major upset. At Louis Armstrong, the ever-watchable Jannik Sinner is on a roll against Germany’s Daniel Altmaier, winning his first service game, while those distant cheers must surely be for Venus Williams at the Arthur Ashes Stadium. She is about to start her match against Alison Van Uytvanck of Belgium. Rybakina shows signs of regaining her mojo with some sharp returns to open Burel’s serve, but her French opponent, ranked 131st in the world, again battles to break and serves to hold. Burel has never made it past the first round here, but if Rybakina doesn’t find a break, she will this time. Sloane Stephens came through 1-6, 6-3, 6-3 against Greet Minnen. That’s quite an impressive turnaround from the 2017 champion. Meanwhile, Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina, 25th here, is in trouble on Court 12 against France’s Clara Burel, who is a set and a break down 6-4. 2-0. Dan Evans speaks: “I played really well, I thought,” he says, “it’s nice to be back on the court – it’s been a while since Cincinnati so I was a little nervous, but it was nice to get out and play. I’m playing really well but it’s only the first round again and the start of a new tournament and I hit the ball well which was nice. I served well and dictated fairly well. As for the pitches, the main pitches seem a bit slower, but this one was pretty fast I thought, but everyone has different opinions, so don’t listen to me.” An Australian, James Duckworth (ranked No 83) or Chris O’Connell (ranked 118), awaits in the second round. This is already the second time four Britons have reached the second round at Flushing Meadows since 1974, reality fans
Evans beats Vesili 6-4, 6-1, 6-1
In the blink of an eye, Evans has two match points at 40-15 on his serve and finishes the job with an ace on…
