Hijikata notches 6-3, 6-3, 4-6, 6-3 victory over Zhang Zhizhen to take the Australian into final-16 and top 100 for the first time in his career
Australian into final 16 and top 100 for first time in careerAustralian wildcard Rinky Hijikata has continued his audacious run through the US Open draw to charge into the fourth round at Flushing Meadows.
“But to have it happen this soon when I feel like I am still pretty new playing at the grand slams, it’s pretty cool.” That almost doubles Hijikata’s earnings in an already-breakout season that featured a maiden grand slam doubles crown with countryman Jason Kubler at the Australian Open in January. But few could have predicted a year on the world No 110 would feature in the second week at Flushing Meadows, especially after Hijikata needed“I have developed a lot since I played Ashe at this time last year,” Hijikata said. “I really learned a lot from that match and that experience. That has been the biggest key, I think, every week I play. I am learning more and more. I feel like I am a lot better player than I was 12 months ago and I still have a lot improve on.
