Defending champion Aryna Sabalenka overcame an inconsistent start and some tense moments to launch her US Open title defence with a 6-2, 6-4 victory over Colombia's Camila Osorio in the opening round at Flushing Meadows.

The World No. 1 needed one hour and 27 minutes to extend her impressive record in New York, registering her 14th consecutive victory at the US Open and her 24th straight first-round win at a Grand Slam.
