Top-seeded Alexander Zverev advances at the US Open after defeating 89th-ranked Lorenzo Sonego in a five-set match on Tuesday. Zverev wins 6-4, 3-6, 6-7 (7/9), 7-5, 6-4 to secure a spot in the second round.
The match swings repeatedly, with momentum shifting as Sonego pushes Zverev into a late deciding set. One report notes Sonego leads 4-3 in the fourth set and faces additional break-point pressure before Zverev takes the lead and ultimately forces the match into a fifth set.
While all outlets agree on the scoreline and that Zverev overcomes Sonego, one source also places the result within a wider slate of US Open progress, mentioning that other players, including Rybakina and Gauff, move through their matches. The focus of the other reports is primarily the Zverev–Sonego contest.
