Zverev reaches US Open fourth round with win over Tabilo

Alexander Zverev, the top seed, advanced to the fourth round of the US Open with a convincing victory over Alejandro Tabilo. The German player overcame a sluggish second set to secure a 6-2, 7-6 (7/2), 6-2 win. After playing five-set matches against Lorenzo Sonego and Quentin Halys, Zverev was eager to avoid another lengthy contest.

The match began favorably for Zverev, as he broke Tabilo twice in the first set. Despite an early dip in his performance, Zverev rebounded and secured a commanding 4-2 lead in the second set. However, Tabilo mounted a comeback, winning three consecutive games and drawing the match closer. Zverev's resilience shone through when he controlled the third set, putting the match beyond Tabilo's reach. The 29-year-old German player will face 21st-seeded Luciano Darderi in the next round.
