The top-seeded men and women, Novak Djokovic and Ash Barty, easily won their second-round matches at the U.S. Open Thursday to advance.

For Djokovic, it was another step closer to completing the first calendar-year Grand Slam in men’s tennis since 1969 and claiming a record 21st major championship.

The day’s other winners included the men and women’s gold medalists from the recently-ended Tokyo Olympics, Alexander Zverez and Belinda Bencic.
