In a notable upset at the US Open, Felix Auger-Aliassime eliminated third seed Alexander Zverev in the third round. The Canadian player, seeded 25th, overcame Zverev in a match that lasted nearly four hours. Zverev, who was the runner-up in 2020, started strong but Auger-Aliassime rallied after losing the first set. He secured the victory with a final score of 4-6, 7-6 (9/7), 6-4, 6-4. Auger-Aliassime shared his excitement about the win and his continued pursuit of a Grand Slam title. Zverev’s elimination is a disappointment, given his consistent performance at Flushing Meadows since 2018. This defeat follows a first-round exit at Wimbledon. Auger-Aliassime, with a previous semi-final appearance at a major, now prepares to face Andrey Rublev in the next round.
