Sebastian Gorzny reaches US Open second round after medical recovery
American tennis player Sebastian Gorzny, ranked 731st in the ATP, made a notable appearance at the US Open after receiving a wild card. Gorzny secured a first-round victory against Belgium's Raphael Collignon, a match that lasted nearly four hours and included Gorzny saving five match points.
Gorzny's journey to the tournament is marked by a significant medical crisis in 2019. At age 15, he fell into a coma in Michigan, with doctors estimating a five percent chance of survival. The illness, potentially caused by a mosquito bite leading to a brain infection, left him in a coma for four days.
Following his recovery, Gorzny won the Wimbledon boys' doubles title in 2022 alongside Alex Michelsen. His run at the US Open concluded in the second round after a straight-sets loss to 2021 US Open champion Daniil Medvedev.
