- World No. 1 Jannik Sinner defeated Alexei Popyrin 6-3, 6-2, 6-2, improving to 41-9 in his first 50 hard‑court major matches to match Roger Federer’s mark, and will face No. 27 Denis Shapovalov next.
- Third seed Alexander Zverev beat Jacob Fearnley 6-4, 6-4, 6-4, finally closing on his sixth match point after the Briton saved five, to set a third‑round meeting with Felix Auger‑Aliassime.

- Tsitsipas confronted Altmaier at the net over the German’s legal underarm serves, telling him, “Next time, don’t wonder why I hit you,” as officials also issued a rare coaching warning involving Apostolos Tsitsipas.
