The US Open has had its fair share of thrills, upsets and routine wins on the first day of the 2022 edition on Monday. Defending men's champion Daniil Medvedev commenced his title defence with a straight-sets win over Stefan Kozlov. On the women's side, six-time winner Serena Williams, playing the final tournament of her illustrious career, extended her farewell party in New York by seeing off Danka Kovinic in straight sets.

Meanwhile, Yibing Wu became the first Chinese player to win a match at the US Open. His compatriot Zhizhen Zhang narrowly failed to join him as he squandered a two-set lead and seven match points against Tim van Rijthoven. In other results, former champions Andy Murray, Dominic Thiem and Stan Wawrinka endured contrasting fortunes. Murray strolled through to the next round, but Thiem fell in four sets while Wawrinka retired after losing the first two. There were also surprises galore on the opening day. On that note, here's a look at the top five upsets on Day 1 at Flushing Meadows: #5 Roberto Bautista Agut 16 lost to JJ Wolff 6-4 6-4 6-4 Roberto Bautista Agut bit the dust in the first round.

Tenth seed Daria Kasatkina was another seeded casualty on the opening day of action at the US Open. The Roland Garros semifinalist lost a tight first set on a tiebreak but restored parity by dropping just one game in the second. Kasatkina was twice a break up in the decider, but it was the 88th-ranked Dart who streaked past the finish line.

Qualifier Brandon Holt dumped out compatriot Taylor Fritz, who was touted as one of the dark horses for the US Open title this fortnight, in a four-set opening-round clash. In a battle between two California natives, it was the tenth-seeded Fritz who grabbed first blood - taking the first set in a tiebreak. However, Holt, the son of two-time US Open winner Tracy Austin, roared back into the contest by taking the second in a tiebreak. The World No. 303 rode his momentum, dropping only seven games in the next two sets to notch up the first tour-level win of his career. It was Fritz's third loss to a compatriot in New York in as many attempts.

The Romanian burst into life in the second, bagelling the youngster, but couldn't ride her momentum in the third. Snigur squandered a 5-1 lead before serving out the match at the second time of asking to record the first tour-level win of her young career.
