Canada's Denis Shapovalov beat Switzerland's Marc-Andrea Huesler 2-6, 6-4, 6-4, 3-6, 6-1 in the first round of the U.S. Open on Tuesday in New York.
The 19th-seeded Shapovalov, from Richmond Hill, Ont., will next face the winner of an all-Spain contest between Jaume Munar and Roberto Carballes Baena.
Canadians went 5-0 in the first round of singles, with Bianca Andreescu, Leylah Fernandez, Rebecca Marino and Felix Auger-Aliassime winning on Monday.
