Alexandra Eala, Naomi Osaka, and Madison Keys advanced to the third round of the women\u2019s singles at the U.S. Open while Felix Auger-Aliassime was knocked out of the Grand Slam in the men\u2019s event.<\/p>\n
Auger-Aliassime, No.3, became the highest seeded player to get knocked out of the tournament. Earlier, seed four Novak Djokovic was eliminated in the opening round.<\/p>\n
Post game, Auger-Aliassime said he was feeling dizzy and seeing spots and couldn\u2019t recover, falling to Karen Khachanov 6-7 (5), 6-3, 6-2, 6-2.<\/p>\n
\u201cKaren is a great player. Look, I cannot beat him or anybody in this draw feeling the way I felt today,\u201d the Canadian said. \u201cIf I cannot move, we\u2019re not talking about tennis here.\u201d<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Osaka recovered after a mid-match lapse to advance to the third round with a 6-2, 5-7, 6-1 victory over Katerina Siniakova on Thursday, before Eala beat Oleksandra Oliynykova in straight sets 6-1, 6-4.<\/p>\n
Osaka wore silver and white under her long white jacket with a white visor as she arrived for her match in Arthur Ashe Stadium.<\/p>\n
The No. 13 seed won the first set in 30 minutes before opening a 4-2 lead in the second. But her level of play took a substantial dip, with 20 unforced errors in the set.<\/p>\n
Osaka quickly regained control, breaking for a 2-0 lead in the third before finishing a 19-shot rally with a volley for a winner en route to taking the next game.<\/p>\n
Keys, the 2017 runner-up, also was on the verge of an early exit before erasing five match points and edging Anna Bondar 5-7, 6-4, 7-6 (10-5).<\/p>\n
\u201cThat was something, huh? No stress, though, we all knew I had it right?\u201d Keys joked to the fans afterward.<\/p>\n
