No Britons left in US Open singles as Dart & Jones lose

Two British women, Harriet Dart and Francesca Jones, both lost in the second round of the US Open singles tournament. The heat in New York reached around 30C, which may have contributed to Dart's performance. Jones, the last British player standing, lost to Iva Jovic, an American star. Nine British players competed in the US Open main draws, with four advancing past qualifying.

Five made it to the second round, but none won a set against a seeded player. In the men's draw, Cameron Norrie and Jan Choinski were eliminated in the first round.
