Taylor Fritz and Flavio Cobolli are eliminated in the third round as the men’s singles draw sees major upsets during the first week of the US Open. Their losses come amid a wider pattern of seeded players exiting the tournament earlier than expected.
Both outlets report that six top-10 seeds are knocked out in this early stage of the competition. The results highlight a volatile opening period, with high-ranked players losing before reaching the later rounds. While the two accounts focus on the same set of eliminations, they emphasize different names of players affected—namely Fritz and Cobolli among those going out in the third round.
Overall, the story across the sources is the same: several of the tournament’s best-ranked men are eliminated quickly, setting up a reshaped field for the remainder of the event.
