Ignacio Buse Achieves First US Open Victory, Continuing Family Legacy

Ignacio Buse, a 22-year-old tennis player from Peru, won his first match at the US Open on September 2, 2026, defeating American Marcos Giron in a five-set battle that lasted nearly four hours.

Buse, who was seeded 32nd, triumphed with a score of 3-6, 6-3, 6-3, 6-7(6), 6-1, concluding the match with a decisive backhand volley. This victory is particularly meaningful as it echoes the achievements of his grandfather, Eduardo Buse, who last won a match at the tournament in 1958.

Eduardo Buse is a notable figure in Peruvian tennis history, having first competed in the tournament in 1942. Ignacio's win not only adds to his personal accolades but also revives a family legacy that spans nearly seven decades. Following this victory, Ignacio is set to face Benjamin Bonzi in the next round.
