Andreeva dismantles Tjen, eases into US Open second round
On the second day of the 2026 US Open, two Argentine players advanced to the second round, Marco Trungelliti and Nadia Podoroska. Podoroska, ranked 447th after being sidelined by injuries, defeated Switzerland's Simona Waltert 4-6, 7-6(5), 6-3 in a two-hour and 48-minute match. This marked her first main-draw victory at the US Open and her first Grand Slam win in over two years.
She will next face world No. 8 Iga Swiatek. Trungelliti, at 36 years old, secured his second US Open win and first since 2021, overcoming China's Shang Juncheng 6-3, 1-6, 6-3, 6-4 in a three-hour and 17-minute match that included a rain delay. In other results, Argentine players Thiago Tirante, Sebastián Báez, and Facundo Díaz Acosta suffered defeats in their matches.
