Overview
- Coco Gauff beat Cristina Bucsa in straight sets to reach the US Open fourth round and will face 18‑year‑old Iva Jovic after Jovic outlasted Alexandra Eala in a three‑hour, 7‑5, 3‑6, 7‑5 match.
- World number one Aryna Sabalenka won 6‑4, 6‑3 over Taylor Townsend to reach the quarterfinals and is set to meet Wimbledon champion Linda Noskova next.
- Alexander Zverev progressed to the last 16 with a straight‑sets victory over Alejandro Tabilo while Carlos Alcaraz, returning from a wrist injury, remains in the draw and is scheduled to play Tommy Paul in the fourth round.
- A wave of major upsets on Sunday dented several American title hopes as Madison Keys, Taylor Fritz and Amanda Anisimova were eliminated, leaving a smaller but still deep U.S. contingent in the second week.
- Early rain forced heavy use of the stadium roofs and compressed scheduling that produced late finishes and long matches, a factor that has tested player fitness and could shape who advances in the final rounds.
