Cristina Bucsa defeated Sara Bejlek 7-5, 4-6, 6-1 — US Open 2026 R128.
Sara Bejlek and Cristina Bucsa: Cristina Bucsa leads 2–0 across 2 recorded meetings.
Pegged back to 5-5 in the opener, Bucsa broke again in game 11 for 6-5 and served out a set she had twice led. The decider turned on cleanliness rather than the return game: she won 89% of her first-serve points and made one unforced error all set. Bejlek out-hit her 23 winners to 19 and still lost, giving away 46 unforced errors to 25 while taking 4 of 7 break points to Bucsa's 6 of 17. Two hours and six minutes on court, and Bucsa is through at the US Open having won two of her previous six matches.
