Barrios Vera routs Olivieri 6-3 6-1 in US Open qualifying

Tomas Barrios Vera needed just two one-sided sets to reach the final round of US Open qualifying, brushing aside Argentina's Gonzalo Olivieri 6-3 6-1. The serve told the story: the Chilean won 78.1% of his first-serve points and struck three aces against a single double fault, while Olivieri managed no aces and took only 48.6% of the points behind his first delivery despite landing 61.4% of them in. With neither man able to lean on the second ball — 47.6% to 45.5% — the gap on first serve proved decisive. Barrios Vera moved one win from the main draw.
