NEW YORK (AP) — The Latest on the U.S. Open tennis tournament (all times local):
1:50 p.m.
As one American star lost in the main draw Tuesday, another of the country's rising stars was on display at the U.S. Open.
Top-seeded junior Cori "Coco" Gauff won her second round match in straight sets, 6-2, 6-2, over Romanian Selma Stefania Cadar, before juniors matches were suspended because of the heat.
The 14-year-old comes into this tournament as the second-ranked junior in the world after winning the girls' French Open title earlier this year. She received a wild card into last year's U.S. Open and became the youngest player ever to make the girls' final.
