Marcos Giron's first taste of the U.S. Open was a sweet one. The UCLA Bruin earned a wild card into the main draw of the men's singles event and lost to No. 1 American John Isner in three competitive sets. More than a week later, Giron capped off a title-winning run in the inaugural American Collegiate Invitational.
No. 1 seed Shingo Kunieda booked his spot in the final of the U.S. Open men's wheelchair singles competition on Friday, but not before a serious fight. Kunieda, a four-time champion of this event, held off France's Nicolas Peifer 7-5, 7-6(5). The Japanese star will battle for the title against Gustavo Fernandez of Argentina, who upset second-seeded Frenchman Stephane Houdet 7-6(1), 6-1.
