"Cam Norrie is 1-1 with Sebastian Korda, the latter on serve. Norrie takes him to deuce, but Korda responds with an ace and then a double fault. Deuce once again. Korda advances inside the baseline to sweep a backhand winner but Norrie's passing forehand brings deuce again. Korda holds his nerve after four deuces and leads 2-1 in the first set."
"Hello, hello, hello. Welcome to the second day of singles action at Flushing Meadows hopefully Daniil Medvedev's calmed down by now. Venus Williams, 45 years young, will be up on Arthur Ashe in the evening but before then we've got plenty of names to keep an eye on: Madison Keys, Jack Draper, Petra Kvitova and Cam Norrie are in action over the next few hours."
Cam Norrie and Sebastian Korda contested a tense first set, with Korda serving multiple aces and edging 2-1 after four deuces. Korda struck six aces inside the opening 20 minutes and produced backhand winners while Norrie's passing forehand repeatedly forced deuces.
