  • Alexander Zverev beat Alejandro Tabilo 6:2, 7:6 (7:4), 6:4 to reach the US Open second round in New York.
  • He saved a set point at 5:6 in the second set and closed the match in 2:08, converting his first match point at about 0:48 a.m. local time.
  • The night session began around 22:40 in a sparsely populated Arthur Ashe Stadium, and Zverev held serve throughout without being broken.
  • Zverev faces Jacob Fearnley next, having defeated the Briton earlier this season at the Australian Open and in Miami without dropping a set.
  • He described the display as solid but short of his best, with recent comments noting ongoing professional help for mental health and pre-tournament work with Toni Nadal; German peers Eva Lys, Laura Siegemund and Daniel Altmaier also advanced.
