Overview

• Saturday’s order of play finalizes the third round, with Jannik Sinner vs Denis Shapovalov on Arthur Ashe during the day and Tommy Paul vs Alexander Bublik closing the night; Louis Armstrong opens with Lorenzo Musetti vs Flavio Cobolli and features Alexander Zverev vs Félix Auger‑Aliassime at 7 p.m.
• World No. 1 and defending champion Sinner has lost only 11 games through two matches, and previews rate him a strong favorite over Shapovalov despite the Canadian’s win in their lone 2021 meeting.
• Analysts favor Zverev against Auger‑Aliassime based on a 6–2 head‑to‑head and the German’s efficient start following Toronto and Cincinnati semifinal runs.
• Musetti is backed by several previews to edge compatriot Cobolli, who arrives off consecutive five‑setters, a contrast to Musetti’s quicker early wins.
• Paul’s four‑hour, 25‑minute second‑round marathon contrasts with Bublik’s 10‑match winning streak and straight‑sets form, leading many picks to lean toward the Kazakh; qualifier Coleman Wong’s landmark run for Hong Kong continues against Andrey Rublev on Grandstand.
