Rubin defeated in Grand Slam debut
American teenager Noah Rubin saw his first ever Grand Slam match end in a comprehensive defeat on Tuesday afternoon.
Qualifying for the US Open as a wildcard, the 18-year-old, who won the junior boys title at Wimbledon last month, was comfortably beaten in straight sets, by Argentine Federico Delbonis 6-4, 6-3, 6-0.
His US Open campaign isn’t over yet though as he has also qualified for the doubles competition where alongside Stefan Kozlov, they take on Americans Jared Donaldson and Michael Russell. A win for Rubin & Kozlov would though put them on course for a second round match against the world number one seeds, Bob and Mike Bryan.
Wednesday evening sees both Shahar Peer and Dudi Sela in action on Court 13.
Peer is third on court when she faces Croatian Mirjana Lucic-Baroni in a second round singles match. She is also involved in the women’s doubles where alongside the Netherlands Kiki Bertens, they take on the eighth seeds Czech Andrea Hlavackova and Jie Zheng from China.
Dudi Sela begins his singles campaign against Argentine Carlos Berlocq.

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
