The German's marathon match lasted four hours and 53 minutes, concluding at 1:55 AM in Arthur Ashe Stadium. Zverev, who had already claimed his first Grand Slam title at Roland Garros and reached the Wimbledon final, credited the intense contest for his victory. Meanwhile, Elena Rybakina, a world-ranked player, edged past Thea Frodin in straight sets, while Coco Gauff demonstrated her improved serve in a convincing win over Zeynep Sonmez. Both Rybakina and Gauff advanced smoothly in their respective matches. Fifth-seeded Flavio Cobolli made a remarkable comeback, defeating Francisco Comesana in a four-hour, 13-minute marathon at Louis Armstrong Stadium. Other notable matches included Madison Keys' victory over a young Russian player and Taylor Fritz's dominant win over Darwin Blanch. Despite rain delays and some lengthy suspensions, play resumed on Wednesday, ensuring most matches went as scheduled.",
