No. 2-seed Simona Halep advanced to the second round of the 2015 U.S. Open with little to no resistance from Marina Erakovic. Halep prevailed 6-2, 3-0 as Erakovic retired with an apparent injury in the second set.

Erakovic showed almost no signs of being able to trouble Halep at any point in the match. Even if she were healthy, chances are Erakovic would have been dispatched swiftly. Halep broke her hobbled opponent four of the six times she had an opportunity to take the advantage, and she also won 87 percent of her first-service points. Halep will face Kateryna Bondarenko in the second round.

She won just 20 percent of his first serves in the second set, and that was the key to her defeat.

Most of the high seeds in the men's draw stayed away from upsets. The exception was No. 11 Gilles Simon's defeat at the hands of unseeded Donald Young. Young seemed to get better with every set, as he won 2-6, 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4. He committed a whopping total of 70 unforced errors, but the number dwindled with each passing set.

Despite the errors, Young talked about being determined to stay aggressive:
