The first round of the U.S. Open is complete and there have been numerous shock exits on the men's side of the draw. 4 Top 10 seeds have lost:
Dominic Thiem(4), Stefanos Tsitsipas(8), Karen Khachanov(9) and
Roberto Bautista Agut(10) which is a lot! On the women's side of the draw the biggest names to go out are 2017 US Open champ
Sloane Stephens, 2004 US Open champ
Svetlana Kuznetsova and 2006 US Open champion
Maria Sharapova and 2016 US Open champion
Angelique Kerber. Additionally, 2-time major champ
Garbine Muguruza(24) lost as well.
