The winner of the competition in 2019, Andreescu beat in one hour and 40 minutes (6-0, 3-6, 6-1) the athlete who knocked out Serena Williams in the first round of Wimbledon-2022.

In the next round, Bianca (48 WTA) will meet Beatrice Haddad Maia (15th favorite). The Brazilian, one of the most prepared players on the circuit, had a perfect match against the Croatian Ana Konjuh (117 WTA): 6-0, 6-0 after an hour of play.

The last player to win a double bagel at the US Open was Naomi Osaka in 2018 (against Oleksandra Sasnovich), and that year the Japanese athlete won the tournament.
