NEW YORK (AP) — Iga Swiatek and Jannik Sinner flashed their No. 1 form on Thursday with powerful performances that moved them into the third round of the U.S. Open. Swiatek raced by Japanese qualifier Ena Shibahara 6-0, 6-1, finishing off the match in 65 minutes. It took the 2022 U.S. Open champion longer than that to play the second set of her first-round match, when she needed a tiebreaker that she eventually closed out in 72 minutes. “I just felt the rhythm was much better,” Swiatek said. “I was a bit tense in my last match, so today I just wanted to focus on the right things.” Earlier, Sinner downed Alex Michelsen 6-4, 6-0, 6-2 in 1 hour, 39 minutes.

This happens year after year, at Grand Slam after Grand Slam, until years become decades and the championship drought — now 21 years — ages another year. 

It always starts with one American losing in the men’s draw. It has always ended with the rest of them falling.

And on Thursday, at Louis Armstrong Stadium, it was Sebastian Korda — seeded No. 16 but the fourth-highest American in the U.S. Open bracket — who revealed the first crack in the quest to win that elusive title, with unseeded Tomas Machac winning 6-4, 6-2, 6-4 during their second-round match.

Don Hall is an avid snowmobiler, but instead of heading for the hills each winter in search of deep powder, he takes an older snowmachine to lower elevations nearer the snow line. There’s a reason the Riverton resident prefers the lower zones despite the rocks, fences and sage most riders avoid: That’s where the coyotes are.

Wyoming allows snowmobilers to run down wildlife. Despite global outrage, it may stay legal.
