US Open: Musetti crashes out to Droguet as seeds continue to fall on Day One

French qualifier Titouan Droguet reached the second round of the US Open by beating Italian Lorenzo Musetti, the No 18 seed, 6-3, 0-6, 6-7 (5), 6-3, 6-2 at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in New York on Monday evening.

Despite Musetti hitting 11 winners more than his opponent and saving 15 break points, it wasn’t enough for the Italian, with 67 unforced errors his undoing.

Droguet, ranked No 171, will face qualifier Jakub Mensik next, who executed an upset of his own when the 17-year-old stunned Gregoire Barrere to become the youngest winner of a match at the US Open since Borna Coric in 2014.
