British Tennis Star Jan Choinski Falls Short in US Open Epic

Jan Choinski, Britain’s number 10, narrowly missed out on a historic US Open run, losing a five-set battle against Roberto Carballes Baena. Choinski, ranked 276 in the world, earned a $100,000 prize by qualifying for the main draw at Flushing Meadows. He found himself down two sets and a break before fighting back to force a decider. However, Carballes Baena regained control to secure a 6-2 6-3 5-7 6-7 (5) 6-3 victory. Choinski’s impressive fightback demonstrated his tenacity and grit, but ultimately, the Spaniard’s experience proved too much to overcome.
