The main sensation of the first round of the US Open was the victory of the Ukrainian tennis player Daria Snigur.

The 20-year-old Ukrainian met with the former first racket of the world from Romania, Simona Halep, who now ranks seventh in the WTA rankings..

Snigur unexpectedly won with a score of 6:2, 0:6, 6:4. The match lasted 1 hour 42 minutes. It is worth noting that this was Daria's debut in the main draw of WTA tournaments and the first meeting with an opponent from the top 20 of the world ranking.

After the fight, the tennis player did not hold back her emotions and dedicated this success to Ukraine and her family:.

\! I think no more comments, because now it's just impossible for me to do it.. I want to thank Simona for this great match, it's a great experience for me.

Thanks to all the fans who watched our match. I think it helped me that I was already on this court when I played a charity match for Ukraine. It did help a little, but I was still very, very, very nervous.. Tried to do everything I could.

Of course, this is a match for Ukraine, for my family, for everyone who supported me..

Thanks everyone! Glory to Ukraine!
