GB's Samuel earns first win at a Grand Slam
Confirmed
However, he had no such issues against former world number 20 Machac, wrapping up a 6-2 6-3 6-2 victory in just over 90 minutes to register his first win at a Grand Slam. Just two years ago, Samuel fell to almost 2,000th in the world rankings as bone bruising in his right arm ruled him out of much of the 2024 season.
Norrie revealed beforehand that he won a padel competition among his friends while on his stag do in Ibiza last month. Norrie, the 29th seed, then found himself in a New York nightmare as the match quickly got away from him.
“You know, I expected a battle in the first round,” said Boulter. "I'm still a little bit but I'm definitely more comfortable being around those top guys because I could be playing them the next day," he said.
It turns out that was the only victory he could savour after slipping to a 6-7 (6) 6-2 6-2 6-3 defeat. The 23-year-old beat the out-of-form Czech Tomas Mahac 6-2 6-3 6-2 in a little over 90 minutes.
