Alexander Zverev advances to the U.S. Open second round after withstanding pressure from Lorenzo Sonego in his opening match. He holds on despite a tough test and keeps alive his aim of reaching a third consecutive Grand Slam final, as the tournament continues despite interruptions.
Rain disrupts play at Flushing Meadows and forces changes to the schedule. While Zverev’s match proceeds amid the broader delays, other U.S. players complete their early-round matches with fewer complications under the roof. The outlets also report that Americans Taylor Fritz, Madison Keys and Coco Gauff move on smoothly, while Grand Slam champions Mirra Andreeva and Elena Rybakina win their matches.
