Overview
- Mariano Navone beat Matteo Berrettini 3-6, 6-3, 6-4, 7-6, taking the final tiebreak 7-4 to end Berrettini's run in the second round.
- Berrettini started strongly with the first-set win but could not sustain momentum as Navone recovered and seized control in the middle sets.
- The match featured multiple service breaks and momentum shifts, and reports credit Navone's superior physical condition in the decisive moments.
- Navone will face fellow Argentine Tomas Etcheverry in the third round, marking his first time reaching that stage at the US Open.
- Coverage included a factual inconsistency about the match length, with the same report citing both roughly three-and-a-half hours and four-and-a-half hours, though that detail does not affect the result.
