- World No 1 closes out a 6-1, 7-5 win over teenager Clara Tauson
- Australian falters trying to serve out match at 5-4 in second set

There were glimpses of Barty’s first-round struggles against Vera Zvonareva before the world No 1 closed out a 6-1, 7-5 win to book a date on Sunday with either Shelby Rogers or Sorana Cirstea.
The remnants of Hurricane Ida that swept through the northeast of America and killed at least 25 people and flooded Flushing Meadows delayed some matches on day four by an hour.
