The third seed, Alexander Zverev, was knocked out of the US Open in a stunning third-round match against Felix Auger-Aliassime. The Canadian, seeded 25th, overcame Zverev with a final score of 4-6, 7-6 (9/7), 6-4, 6-4, showcasing resilience after losing the first set. Auger-Aliassime celebrated the win, emphasizing his commitment to the tournament. This loss represents a significant disappointment for Zverev, who had consistently advanced to the second week in New York since 2018. It also follows an early exit at Wimbledon. Auger-Aliassime, who has previously reached the semi-finals at a major, now looks ahead to a challenging fourth-round encounter with Andrey Rublev.
