Former Texas tennis player Sebastian Gorzny made his debut Monday at the U.S. Open and the Longhorn advanced to the second round.
In his first round match against Belgium's Raphael Collignon, Gorzny won 3-6, 6-3, 3-6, 6-3, 7-6. They initially began Sunday but due to weather delay, they finished the four-hour match Monday.
Gorzny graduated from UT in the spring and began playing professional tennis. The Californian is ranked 731st in the world and won two matches in the wild card playoff before getting a main draw in the tournament to start it against 38th-ranked Collingnon.
The 22-year-old won a dramatic fourth set to force a fifth when he won on a double fault after five match points.
