Wild Cards Wolf, Nava, Mandlik Advance to US Open Second Round, Qualifier Holt Shocks Fritz; Yu and Shelton Drop First Round Matches; ITF J1 College Park Videos; More Kalamazoo Match Replays Available

The first day of the 2022 US Open is far from over, but there have already been some memorable victories by the 20 Americans in action today.

Former Ohio State star JJ Wolf, who won this summer's US Open Wild Card Challenge to get into the main draw, looked extremely poised and confident in his 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 win over No. 16 seed Roberto Bautista Agut of Spain. Wolf had 14 aces and 46 winners and saved all four break points he faced. The 23-year-old from Ohio will face Alejandro Tabilo of Chile in the second round Wednesday. For more on Wolf's win, see this match report from usopen.org.

Elli Mandlik, the daughter of 1985 US Open women's champion Hana Mandlikova, won the US Open Wild Card Challenge and, like Wolf, she made the most of it. Mandlik, 21, came back to defeat Tamara Zidansek of Slovenia 5-7, 7-6(3), 6-4. She plays No. 5 seed Ons Jabeur of Tunisia next.

Twenty-year-old Emilio Nava, another wild card recipient, defeated John Millman of Australia 7-6(7), 4-6, 7-6(4), 1-6, 6-1 in just under four hours for his first slam victory. The 2019 US Open boys champion will move inside the ATP Top 200 for the first time with the win. He plays Andy Murray in the second round.

In a match that ended around 10 p.m., qualifier Brandon Holt, the son of two-time US Open champion Tracy Austin and Scott Holt, won the biggest match of his career, taking out No. 10 seed Taylor Fritz 6-7(3), 7-6(1), 6-3, 6-4. The 24-year-old Holt, who was out for the last half of 2021 due to wrist surgery for a non-tennis related issue, had never played an ATP Top 50 player until today. The former USC star gave Fritz nothing, showed no sign of being intimidated, and was his usual placid self until he converted his second match point.

USTA National 18s champion Eleana Yu held her own against No. 29 seed Alison Riske-Amritraj, but was forced by Riske's pace and depth to play too much defense and couldn't get a look at a break point in a 6-2, 6-4 loss.

NCAA men's singles champion Ben Shelton lost his first main draw match in a slam to qualifier Nuno Borges of Portugal 6-7(6), 6-3, 7-6(5), 6-7(8), 6-3. Shelton saved a match point with an ace at 7-8 in the fourth set tiebreaker, but he lost his serve from 40-0 up at 1-2 in the fifth and that was all former Mississippi State Bulldog Borges, the 2019 NCAA singles finalist, needed. After netting a very nervous looking forehand on his second match point at 5-3, 40-15 Borges didn't panic in a lengthy exchange at the net, closing out the four-hour contest on Court 10 that was standing room only for most of the match.
