            <p>Canada&#39;s Bianca Andreescu won her first game in the main draw of the US Open with a 6-2, 6-4 win over American Katie Volynets on Tuesday.

Andreescu is seeded 15th seed at this season's Grand Slam tournament following his triumph at the Rogers Cup. She had the best of the 413rd world racket, which had an invitation from the organizers, after a match that lasted 1 hour and 28 minutes.

The representative of the Unifolia has broken the service of his rival four times on eight occasions. However, she made 32 unforced errors against 29 winning strokes.

Andreescu will face in the second round the winner of the match between Kirsten Flipkens and Xiyu Wang.

Osaka triumphs with snatch

Naomi Osaka's hopes of successfully defending her title have also failed.

The tournament favorite, who was back on the court Arthur Ashe, one year after defeating Serena Williams in a controversial final, trailed 3-0 early in the match against the 84th world racquet Anna Blinkova and proved unable to put an end to the duel in the second run, eventually winning 6-4, 6-7 (5), 6-2 in the first round.

Osaka wore an imposing black bandage on his left knee, which has been bothering him for some time. His movements, however, did not affect his performance, at least not as much as his lack of consistency. Osaka committed 50 unforced errors, twice as many as Blinkova.

The Japanese left a match with a rough forehand while trying to seal the outcome of the game at 6-5 in the second set. She nevertheless got back to the third set.

Only two US international champions were ousted in the first round the following year, including Angelique Kerber, who dropped the flag before none other than Osaka in 2017.

American teenager Coco Gauff will be in action on Tuesday, as will her compatriot Sloane Stephens, US Open champion in 2017, in the evening. Simona Halep of Romania will also be on the court Louis Armstrong against American Nicole Gibbs.
