Alexander Zverev Battles Into US Open Third Round After Five-Set Win
Alexander Zverev advanced to the third round of the 2026 US Open after winning a five-set match against Quentin Halys.
New York witnessed an intense match between top-seeded Alexander Zverev and French player Quentin Halys at Arthur Ashe Stadium. The German champion, who had a nearly five-hour clash just two days prior, fought hard once again to secure a spot in the third round. Zverev triumphed 6-4, 4-6, 7-6(3), 6-7(3), 6-3 in a five-set match that lasted four hours, 33 minutes.
Despite struggling with his serve and backhand, Zverev found his rhythm and stepped up his game during the match’s crucial moments. The 25th-seeded Alejandro Tabilo, who is Zverev’s next opponent, is a familiar foe from their previous meeting at the US Open first round last year.
