Ann Li and Donna Vekic: Ann Li leads 1–0 across 1 recorded meeting.
Game 9 of the third set gave up the only break of serve in the final two sets, Li taking it for 5-4 after a tiebreak had kept her in the match. The errors dried up. Her third set ran 16 winners against 2 unforced with 85 percent of first-serve points won, where the opener had leaked 13 errors and four double faults at 65 percent. Vekic broke for that first set in game 12 and held 15 of her 17 service games, and still lost the points count 121-119. Two hours and 42 minutes to separate two players by two points, and the 29th seed — no prior meetings between them on record — is into the US Open third round.
