Andreeva routs Tjen 6-2 6-2 in US Open first round

Mirra Andreeva needed only two lopsided sets to move past Janice Tjen 6-2 6-2 in the US Open first round, never allowing the Indonesian a foothold. The Russian's serving was close to flawless: 80.5% of first serves landed, and she won 84.8% of those points, adding three aces against just two double faults. Tjen, by contrast, found only 60.4% of first serves and won 58.6% behind them, while her second delivery was picked apart for a return of just 31.6%. It was the kind of clean, efficient opening a seed hopes for in New York.
