The two world No. 2s have a quiet start to the US Open. In the men's draw, Novak Djokovic beat Radu Albot from Moldova 6:2, 6:2, 6:4.
In the women's field, Aryna Sabalenka also had no problems in her 6-3, 6-3 win over Priscilla Hon, who, like Albot, had qualified for the tournament.
The Belarusian is aiming for her first title in New York after two Australian Open victories. So far this year, Djokovic has failed to become the sole record holder in the men's and women's singles with his 25th Grand Slam triumph. However, his Olympic victory in Paris fulfilled a big dream and boosted his self-confidence.
