Sixth worse than expected

Žiga Šeško, osemnajstletni teništi, je na US Openu v New Yorku izgubil v prvem krogu mladinskog konkurence proti domačemu Marcelu Lataku. Šeško je bil pred tem zmagovalec Australian Opena med posamezniki in prvak Wimbledona v dvojicah. Tudi Andreja Klepač, 40-letna slovenska teništica, je neuspela v svojem dvorazrednem tekmu v četrtfinale, kjer sta jo premagali Gabriela Dabrowski in Luisa Stefani. Klavč se bo v WTA ranglisti dvorazrednih tekmovalk povzpel do okoli 55. mesta, medtem ko bo Šeško nadaljeval s tekmi v paru.
