Victor Estrella came to the perfect place to earn his first Grand Slam victory at the age of 34.

He is starting to become a household name back home in the Dominican Republic after playing in a major tournament for the first time this year and, in a city with a large Dominican population, he had a loud cheering section at the US Open on Tuesday.

Rallied by his fans at a packed Court 6, Estrella came back from a set and a break down to beat Igor Sijsling of the Netherlands 2-6, 6-4, 6-3, 6-2 in the first round.
