Ignacio Buse wins first round US Open match against Marcos Giron

Ignacio Buse advanced in the US Open on Wednesday, securing a five-set victory over Marcos Giron on Court 6 at Flushing Meadows. The 32nd-seeded Peruvian claimed the match 3-6, 6-3, 6-3, 6-7(6), 6-1 after three hours and 48 minutes of play. This result mirrors a 1958 US Open opening-round victory achieved by his grandfather, Eduardo Buse, who also played on the professional tour. The win comes after Buse reached a career-high ranking of world No. 31 earlier this season and secured a title at the Hamburg Open. Carrying momentum from a recent win at the Winston-Salem Open, the Peruvian player now moves into a second-round matchup against Frenchman Benjamin Bonzi. Buse is currently the top-ranked men's singles player from Peru.
