Top seed Iga Swiatek survived US Open first round wobble on Tuesday as two-time champion Naomi Osaka made a tearful and colourful return to Flushing Meadows. 

2022 US Open champion Swiatek saw off 104th-ranked Kamilla Rakhimova but only after having to save three set points in the second set. French Open champion Swiatek, chasing a second New York title to add to her four triumphs in Paris, saw off Russian lucky loser Rakhimova 6-4, 7-6 (8/6) to extend her season-leading record to 54 match wins.
