Ashleigh Barty has made it three from three for Australian women with a crushing first-round win at the US Open in New York.

In her first match at Flushing Meadows since quitting the sport after the 2014 Open, Barty upended 21st seed Ana Konjuh 4-6 6-0 6-1 to join Arina Rodionova and Ajla Tomljanovic in the second round.

The 21-year-old’s reward is a meeting with world No.88 Aliaksandra Sasnovich on Thursday.
