Kim Birrell’s US Open Comeback | Adelaide News

Kim Birrell stunned the tennis world with a gritty, rain-delayed comeback at the US Open, saving a match point to defeat Petra Marcinko and advance past the first round for the first time ever. Down a set and facing elimination in the second-set tiebreaker, she rallied with heart and grit — especially sweet after losing to Marcinko before. Now she’ll take on top-ranked Ekaterina Alexandrova, with a big payday guaranteed regardless of outcome. Meanwhile, fellow Aussie Vukic fell short in his own weather-interrupted match, but others like Popyrin, Hijikata, Duckworth, and Joint are still in the hunt against tough opponents — can they follow Birrell’s lead?
