US Open: Injured Sakkari out, Wang books spot in second round
Chinese Wang Yafan reached the second round of the US Open when Greek Maria Sakkari, the No 9 seed, retired on Monday at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in New York.
Wang, ranked No 80, led 6-2, 0-0 when Sakkari, ranked No 9, pulled out mid-match with what seemed to be a shoulder injury.
