Maria Sakkari enters the US Open second round as the 32nd seed after rallying from a set and 4-0 deficit to defeat qualifier Robin Montgomery 2-6, 7-5, 6-2, a result that restored momentum following earlier hard-court losses to top players like Iga Swiatek and Coco Gauff. The 31-year-old Greek, ranked No. 35 and a former world No. 3 with deep Grand Slam experience, faces Yuliia Starodubtseva, the Ukrainian ranked No. 58 who secured her first US Open main-draw win with a straight-sets 6-2, 6-2 victory over Ella Seidel. Starodubtseva has posted consistent results on hard courts this summer, including a Monterrey quarterfinal run, but lacks Sakkari’s head-to-head pedigree or major-tournament depth on this surface. The hard-court conditions and second-round timing favor the higher-ranked player’s established baseline game and mental resilience after the comeback.
