What happened at the US Open on Day 1? Well...

In the men’s draw…

Holger Rune loses to Roberto Carballes Baena and then complains about the court scheduling (while also claiming he wasn’t)

Dominic Thiem wins against Alexander Bublik! His first grand slam victory in 2 years and lost three of last four against top 20 players. Bublik also embarrassed himself rather and overstepped the line with a rant. As predicted, Felix Auger-Aliassime slumps to defeat against Makenzie McDonald

Sebastian Korda and Lorenzo Musetti out too

Stefanos Tsitsipas is too strong for Milos Raonic

Novak Djokovic cruises through, water is wet etc

Other seeds to fall were Anhelina Kalinina, Bernarda Pera and Elisabetta Cocciaretto

Caroline Wozniacki gets a win on her Grand Slam return

Coco Gauff survives an early scare against queen of gamesmanship Laura Siegmund

Beatriz Haddad Maia edges Sloane Stephens
