New York (AFP)

Grégoire Barrère, 109th in the world and qualifying, did not weigh heavy against the Belgian David Goffin (15th), who eliminated Thursday in the second round of the US Open 6-2, 6-2, 6-2 , in just 1h26.

In the next round, Goffin will face the Spaniard Pablo Carreno (69) or the Lithuanian Ricardas Berankis (68).

The 25-year-old Frenchman took the first round of the US Open for the first time in a 7-6 (7/4), 6-4, 4-6, 6-7 victory (5 / 7), 7-6 (7/2) against British Cameron Norrie (62).

This year, in Melbourne, he failed in the second qualifying round. Then he received a wild card at Roland Garros where he reached the second round and qualified at Wimbledon where he was also eliminated in the second round.
