Marius Copil -245- (ROU) | Nick Kyrgios -181- (AUS)
Match recap from Arthur Ashe Stadium announcer Andy Taylor.
Today’s first two Round-3 Singles matches featured quick victories for Roger Federer and Serena Williams. Rather than leave the sport’s biggest stage empty for four hours, tournament organizers moved this 1st-Round Doubles match into Ashe.
Wise choice. It was a hell of a show.
NEXT: [16] Jurgen Melzer -38- (AUT) | Oliver Marach -19- (AUT)
