"Canada's Victoria Mboko's U.S. Open debut ended early with a 6-3, 6-2 loss to Barbora Krejcikova of the Czech Republic in a women's first-round singles match Monday. Mboko was playing her first match since claiming the National Bank Open title in Montreal earlier this month. The rising star from Toronto, who turns 19 on Tuesday, arrived at Flushing Meadows the women's 22nd seed."
"The Canadian drew a formidable first-round opponent as Krejcikova is a two-time Grand Slam champion and won the Wimbledon women's title last year. The Czech, a former world No. 2, opened with a break and cruised to victory in one hour 23 minutes. Mboko appeared to feel discomfort in her wrapped right wrist as she continuously shook it. She sustained a wrist injury when she fell during the semifinals of the National Bank Open."
Victoria Mboko lost her U.S. Open first-round match to Barbora Krejcikova in straight sets, 6-3, 6-2. Mboko had been playing her first match since winning the National Bank Open title in Montreal earlier this month. The Toronto rising star, who turns 19 on Tuesday, entered Flushing Meadows as the women's 22nd seed. Krejcikova, a two-time Grand Slam champion and former world No. 2 who won Wimbledon last year, opened with a break and finished the match in one hour 23 minutes. Mboko appeared to experience discomfort in her wrapped right wrist after sustaining an injury in a fall during the National Bank Open semifinals. The match briefly paused while officials searched for Krejcikova's vibration dampener, and Montreal's Gabriel Diallo later played a men's first-round match against Damir Dzumhur.
