Alexander Zverev Advances to US Open Third Round After Marathon Win

Top-seeded Alexander Zverev defeated Quentin Halys in a four-hour 33-minute five-set match, 6-4, 4-6, 7-6, 6-7, 6-3, to secure his spot in the US Open third round.

The match concluded at 2:15 am Friday, following Zverev's previous five-set victory over 89th-ranked Lorenzo Sonego that ended shortly before 2 am on Wednesday.

While Zverev advanced, third-seeded Felix Auger-Aliassime was eliminated by Karen Khachanov, and 13th-seeded Lorenzo Musetti suffered a shock defeat to 123rd-ranked Dane Sweeny.
