Overview

• Novak Djokovic beat American qualifier Zachary Svajda 6-7 (5), 6-3, 6-3, 6-1, advancing to the last 32 in New York for a record-equalling 19th time and securing a record 75th third-round appearance at majors.
• Djokovic said he is "not that great" with his tennis and referenced increased wear and tear, yet he extended his run of never losing before the third round at the US Open.
• Svajda took the opener and later received treatment for leg problems, with his serve speed dropping as Djokovic won 11 of the final 12 games.
• Emma Raducanu routed Indonesian qualifier Janice Tjen 6-2, 6-1 to reach round three, where she will face either Elena Rybakina or Tereza Valentova.
• Britain’s Jack Draper withdrew with a left-arm issue before his second-round match, handing Zizou Bergs a walkover and easing the path in parts of the top half of the draw.
