Ekaterina Alexandrova defeated Kimberly Birrell 6-1, 2-6, 6-3 — US Open 2026 R64.
Kimberly Birrell and Ekaterina Alexandrova: Ekaterina Alexandrova leads 1–0 across 1 recorded meeting.
The third set turned on its opening game, where Alexandrova broke for 1-0 and Birrell never got the serve back, the 69th-ranked Australian finishing 0 for 3 on break points from there. Three of the 18th seed's five aces landed in that set, atonement for a second she handed over with eight unforced errors and four double faults, all of her total. Birrell won 8 of her 9 net points and lost anyway, 83 points to 70 across an hour and 38 minutes. That puts Alexandrova into the third round at the US Open, which a 10-11 hard-court season had not promised.
