Alexander Zverev, the top-seeded German player, continued his strong start to the U.S. Open campaign with a 6-2, 6-2, 7-6(3) victory over Italian Luciano Darderi. The 29-year-old, who has reached the quarter-finals at all four Grand Slams this year, was playing his fourth consecutive night-session match and had already faced two five-setters.
Zverev capitalized on some early momentum, breaking Darderi's serve twice in the opening set before dominating the second set. In the third set, Darderi's powerful first serve and drop shots tested Zverev, but the German regrouped and secured the match. Zverev, who has now reached the quarter-finals at both the French Open and Wimbledon this year, will next face Dutchman Botic van de Zandschulp for a spot in the semifinals.
