Feamley wins late in New York night

JACOB Fearnley provided a bright end to a disappointing day for Britain on Tuesday at the US Open despite serving 18 double faults in a debut victory.

The Scot admitted nerves got the better of him as he tried to close out a late-night victory against Roberto Bautista Agut, but he regrouped to claim a 7-5 6-2 5-7 6-4 win.

After defeats for Katie Boulter, Sonay Kartal, Fran Jones and Billy Harris earlier, Fearnley was relieved to avoid a blank for British players as he joined Jack Draper, Emma Raducanu and Cameron Norrie in round two.
