Yulia Putintseva defeated Belinda Bencic 4-6, 7-5, 6-3 — US Open 2026 R128.
Yulia Putintseva and Belinda Bencic: Yulia Putintseva leads 1–0 across 1 recorded meeting.
The 12th seed is out of the US Open at the first hurdle, a player the betting market had at 79 percent undone by eight double faults and not a single ace. Bencic broke for 2-0 at the start of each of the first two sets and won neither of the last two, while Putintseva served six aces, five of them in the decider. The Swiss never earned a break point in that third set, where the only break landed in game 7, for 4-3. Two hours and 50 minutes on, the 80th-ranked Putintseva ends a three-match losing run dating to July and moves into the second round.
