The much-hyped Joint certainly didn’t disappoint on her grand slam main-draw debut, seeing off experienced German Laura Siegemund 6-4 7-5 to more than double her career on-court earnings in a single day. The US-born talent overcame some second-set nerves trying to close out the most significant win of her career, letting a 5-0 lead and one match point slip at 4-5 on Siegemund’s serve.
Adam Walton was unable to follow Popyrin into the second round, succumbing 3-6 7-6 6-3 6-4 to French wildcard Alexandre Muller.
