The draw did not bode well for Jürgen Melzer and his French partner Edouard Roger-Vasselin: In the shrunken 32-man field at the US Open 2020, the two had to face the first-placed Colombians Juan Sebastian Cabal and Robert Farah. And the defending champions of New York City, who also won Wimbledon last year, lived up to their role as favorites. After less than an hour, Cabal / Farah went 6-2 and 6-3 as the winners.
This means that the second prominent Austrian doubles player can prepare for the Generali Open in Kitzbühel: oliver Marach and Raven Klaasen lost his opening game against Marcus Daniell and Philipp Oswald on Wednesday. The two Americans Christopher Eubanks and Mackenzie McDonald are waiting for the Vorarlberg and his New Zealand partner in round two.
