Angelique Kerber has averted a threatening round of threatening to the US Open with combat strength and great nerve strength: The former world ranking listening sat down on the opening day of the Grand Slam tournament in New York in an enormously narrow match 3: 6: 4, 7: 6(7: 3) against the Ukrainian Dayana Yastremska and now meets her compatriot Angelina Kalinina.
Kerber, tournament winner from 2016, had recently caused a sensation with her semi -finals in Wimbledon and Cincinnati and only failed at the later tournament winner Ashleigh Barty (Australia).

She had problems against Yastremska right from the start.Jastremska, who had been suspended by the tour for half a year for half a year due to a supposed doping offense, and then acquitted, dominated the passive Kerber, which came back.In the third set it went back and forth, the three-time Grand Slam winner was already 3: 5, but fought wildly for every point.
Kerber had been raised by Boris Becker to the circle of the title before the tournament started.Meanwhile, the top German player emphasized that he wanted to tackle round for rounds."I like to hand over the favorite role to the other," she said at Eurosport.Last year Kerber failed in the round of 16 in New York.
Andrea Petkovic had previously made it into the second round with a 6-2 and 7: 6 (3).
