Monica Puig, whose Olympic tennis triumph in Rio de Janeiro gave Puerto Rico their first ever Games gold, was unceremoniously bundled out of the US Open on Monday by China's Zheng Saisai.
Zheng beat the 32nd-seeded Puerto Rican 6-4, 6-2 to book a second-round date with either Kateryna Bondarenko of Ukraine or Taiwan's Hsieh Su-Wei.
