The US Open, a grand slam tennis tournament which features some of the greatest tennis players in the world continues on Sunday, September 3, 2023 (9/3/23) with the round of 16 taking place at USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Queens, New York.
NEW YORK — Rinky Hijikata knows what he’s facing at the U.S. Open, and it’s more than just Frances Tiafoe.
“They won’t be for me, that’s for sure,” Hijikata said with a smile, “but I’ll still try to enjoy it as much as I can.” “He’s a great athlete,” Hijikata said. “He’s got a great serve and he’s kind of one of the few guys that are the faces of American tennis at the moment, which is really exciting for this country, and I’m sure they’ll be getting behind him.”
“Well, South Carolina, that was tough,” Hijikata said. “Pretty hostile there, a lot of chirping, a lot of bickering behind the court, and we managed to get away with a win there and it was one of my favorite memories playing college tennis. So, hopefully I can draw on kind of experiences like that.”Hijikata’s idols were fellow Australian Lleyton Hewitt, the 2001 U.S. Open champion, and with Japanese in his heritage, Kei Nishikori, the 2014 runner-up.
