The 2018 champion showed the utmost focus in her 6-1, 6-2 second-round win against Camila Giorgi. The world No. 9 wore an Elijah McClain mask for her night match on Arthur Ashe Stadium.

The Frenchwoman posted the upset of the day by posting a 6-1, 7-6 (2) score against the No. 1 seed Karolina Pliskova on Louis Armstrong Stadium. Garcia's triumph sets up a third-round clash against American Jennifer Brady.

Novak Djokovic

The world No. 1 got off to a slow start against a tough second-round opponent in Kyle Edmund. However, the Serbian managed to pull out a four set victory and maintain his spotless 25-0 record in 2020.

Alexander Zverev

Similar to Djokovic, the German was also put to the test in his second round matchup against American Brandon Nakashima. In the end, Zverev prevailed and posted a 7-5, 6-7 (8), 6-3, 6-1 score against the teenager.

Petra Kvitova

The No. 6 seed had another solid day at the office, but she felt the emptiness in her 7-6 (3), 6-2 win against Kateryna Kozlova on Arthur Ashe.

"Playing on one of the biggest stadiums in tennis without fans is a whole new experience. You know one thing we won’t ever take for granted again? The noise of a crowd," Kvitova wrote on Twitter.
