ITF only have drawsheets from 1987, but since then that's the most we have had at the US Open

I suspect it's the one of the most at any GS without including wildcards.

Just Izzy and Gabi in action today. Katie B and Izzy appear to have the toughest matches. Teichmann won a Grade A junior event earlier in the year and reached the semis of her last $25K tournament (though she plays nearly all her tournaments on clay, so may be vulnerable here) while Stewart is 22-3 on the main ITF circuit this year, with 3 $10K titles and a win against Beygelzimer in the qualifying tournament for the US Open main draw

Stewart, like Teichmann, also plays most of her matches on clay, though i guess beating Beygelzimer indicates she can adjust to hard courts too. Hopefully Katie wont let her settle.

Sadly Teichmann seems to be liking the hard courts well enough.

Izzy 3-6

DavidC · Tennis legend

Izzy has started and the first set featured just one break of serve, in the 6th game, to the Swiss seed

Izzy 3-6 0*-0

DavidC · Tennis legend

After an early exchange of breaks Izzy saved a further breakpoint in game 7 and capitalised by breaking to love for 3-6 5-3

DavidC · Tennis legend

Unfortunately Izzy failed to serve it out 5-4*

Gabi also on court

DavidC · Tennis legend

Holding serve has become much more difficult that in the first set, and Izzy appeared to claim the set after a long tenth game - until the scores were reset to deuce

3-6 5-4 40-40

5-5

Could be tough if that was an overrule on set point

AliBlahBlah · All-time great

I made it 10 deuces in that game.
