At this Stage

An all-American second round with a Grand Slam champion on the unseeded side of the net: Sofia Kenin, the 2020 Australian Open winner, pushed sixth seed Amanda Anisimova to a deciding tie-break before the bigger hitting won out, 6-2 4-6 7-6(3). Anisimova — through her opener against qualifier Lina Gjorcheska 6-3 6-2 — was pure boom-or-bust, 20 aces and 42 winners set against 46 unforced errors, and in the shootout the boom arrived on schedule, 7-3. Kenin's steadier game had levelled the match; it could not finish it. The American theme continues: Anisimova's last-32 opponent is 26th seed Madison Keys, a second compatriot in a row.
