Australian tennis players Dane Sweeny and Tristan Schoolkate have advanced to the second round of the US Open. Sweeny secured his first victory at an overseas Grand Slam after Corentin Moutet retired due to an arm injury while trailing 7-6, 6-4, 3-0.
Tristan Schoolkate defeated American qualifier Nishesh Basavareddy in a four-set match lasting over three hours, with a final score of 7-6, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4. Both players face challenging upcoming matches against Italian seeds Lorenzo Musetti and Fabio Cobolli, respectively.
Australia maintains a strong presence in the tournament with at least seven players in the second round, including Taylah Preston, Kim Birrell, Maya Joint, Alexei Popyrin, and James Duckworth. While Thanasi Kokkinakis was forced to withdraw due to an ankle injury, sixth seed Alex de Minaur and Daria Kasatkina are scheduled to compete in their opening matches.
