Paris, May 28 (Ians) Unseeded Karolina Muchova of the Czech Republic caused the first upset in the women’s singles draw by beating eighth-seeded Maria Sakkari of Greece in the first round even as top contenders Aryna Sabalenka and Stefanos Tsitsipas negotiated their first round challenges in contrasting styles at the French Open on Sunday.

A battle between young tennis titans Coco Gauff of the Us and top-seeded Naomi Osaka of Japan at the Us Open tennis tournament drew a 1.9 overnight rating for the 90-minute segment on ESPN2, according to Nielsen.
The match – in which Osaka prevailed 6-3, 6-0 – peaked in its final quarter hour, 8:15-30 p.m. Et, at a 2.3 rating. Both numbers are high points for a match and a peak rating for the tournament to date. The entire evening session averaged a 1.4, up nearly triple from a 0.5 last year. The entire 12-hour day earned a 1.1 rating, up 83% from last year’s 0.6.
The world has gone gaga over 15-year-old Gauff, who made a strong Wimbeldon appearance that caused some to predict she’s the next big thing, particularly as Venus and Serena Williams age. The match with the equally heralded Osaka was viewed by many as a glimpse of the future of women’s tennis,...

The 2019 U.S. Open coverage on ESPN has grown in the ratings compared with last year on each of its first four days, the network said Friday. And that’s before Saturday’s primetime showdown in the year’s final tennis Grand Slam tournament featuring 15-year-old U.S. phenom Coco Gauff against defending champ (and 21-year-old) Naomi Osaka of Japan.
ESPN reported that viewership through Thursday’s two rounds, dominated by storylines in the women’s draw, has averaged 691,000, up 26% over last year, with each window outperforming the comparative one in 2018. That peaked last night with ESPN2’s coverage of Gauff’s three-set victory over Timea Babos to reach the third round of the New York-set tournament.
Viewership for the match peaked at 2.16 million late in the match, which Gauff pulled out in front of 14,000 at the main Louis Armstrong Stadium. She became the youngest female to advance this far...
