No. 6 seed dropped the first set before outlasting German qualifier Laura Siegemund on Monday night.
when she found herself locked in a marathon of a 30-point, 25-plus-minute game to begin the second set. Sure, there still was plenty of time to come back Monday night in Arthur Ashe Stadium, but this felt pivotal.
Gauff wound up dropping that game - but then not another. Later, Siegemund was docked a point for delaying, which put Gauff up 5-1. That prompted Siegemund to argue her case to Veljovic --"I can't go to the towel anymore?" -- and drew some jeers from the crowd. The No. 4 man, Holger Rune, was bounced 6-3, 4-6, 6-3, 6-2 by the 63rd-ranked Roberto Carballes Baena; the No. 8 woman, Maria Sakkari,lost 6-4, 6-4 to the 71st-ranked Rebeka Masarova."The smell. Oh, my gosh," Sakkari told the chair umpire in the first set."It was weed.
