Canadian tennis star Bianca Andreescu might have to look for a new clothes sponsor following her bizarre meltdown at the US Open on Tuesday.<br /><br />The 2019 champion took three sets to beat France's Harmony Tan at Flushing Meadows, but all the talk after her first round match was her 'badly designed' outfit.<br /><br />The former world No.4 arrived on the Grandstand court in a navy blue skirt, but with repeated gusts of wind blowing her outfit all over.<br /><br />'It's not my fault, it's Nike's fault, this dress is so bad,' Andreescu, 22, could be heard complaining. <br /><br />'I need to go. This is so bad.'<br /><br />She returned wearing shorts and a white top, and despite losing the second set, powered home to book her spot in the second round.<br /><br />Andreescu later explained her patience was being severely tested.<br /><br />'It was just bothering me on some forehands. I just felt like it was kind of coming up a bit. Obviously the wind didn't help,' she said.<br /><br />She later apologized to Nike for 'disrespecting' their apparel.<br /><br />'I could have definitely used a different choice of wording,' she said.<br /><br />'So I apologies to anyone I disrespected. I love Nike and I hope I can be with them for the rest of my life.'<br /><br />Elsewhere, a number of seeds were sent packing on day one of action in New York.<br /><br />Two-time grand slam champion and seventh seed Simona Halep was stunned by unseeded Ukrainian Daria Snigur while Greece's Stefanos Tsitsipas was beaten by Colombian Daniel Elahi Galan in four sets.<br /><br />In the all-Aussie duel, Nick Kyrgios outclassed close mate Thanasi Kokkinakis in straight sets and described the matchup as a 'nightmare'.
