Wu Yibing Sweeps Past Duckworth in Straight Sets at US Open

Wu Yibing tightened his grip as the match went on, edging a close opener before pulling clear for a 7-5 6-3 6-1 win over James Duckworth in the US Open round of 64. The serve told the story: Wu landed 68.5 percent of his first deliveries, struck 12 aces against a single double fault, and was almost impossible to attack, winning 78.0 percent behind the first ball and 78.3 percent behind the second. Duckworth, by contrast, found only 47.1 percent of first serves and took just 41.8 percent of second-serve points while coughing up eight double faults. For Wu, it was a commanding passage into the next round.
