    Coco Gauff has made a dominant start to her US Open tennis title defence, advancing to the second round in straight sets after just over an hour on court


    She says some shaky form weeks before the tournament has dispersed.



    Lulu Sun's campaign is underway on court 11 against Italy's Lucia Bronzetti next.

    Olympic champion Qinwen Zheng bounced back from a set down to advance but ninth seed Maria Sakkari retired injured.

    Ben Shelton, Taylor Fritz, Andrey Rublev and Casper Ruud are through in the men's draw.
