US Open: Tsurenko pushed by Jacquemot, advances to second round

Ukrainian Lesia Tsurenko reached the second round of the US Open by beating French qualifier Elsa Jacquemot 7-5, 3-6, 6-1 at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in New York on Tuesday.

It was a battle of the generations, with Jacquemot 14 years Tsurenko’s junior. And yet, it was the Ukrainian who had more in the tank, racing away with the deciding set 6-1 after the Frenchwomen fought back to level the match at a set a piece.

Tsurenko, ranked No 46, will play Russian Ekaterina Alexandrova, the No 22 seed, next.
