Top seed Alexander Zverev battled through another demanding five-set contest at the US Open, defeating Quentin Halys in a late-night encounter to secure a place in the third round of the tournament.
The German star was pushed to his limits by Halys in a match that extended until 2:15 a.m. local time before Zverev eventually emerged victorious.
The victory marked another physically challenging outing for Zverev, who had to dig deep against the French opponent as both players fought through long rallies and momentum shifts during the contest.
Zverev, one of the leading contenders at this year’s tournament, advanced after overcoming Halys’ strong challenge and will now turn his attention to the next round as he continues the pursuit of his first US Open title.
The result adds to Zverev’s growing list of hard-fought Grand Slam victories, highlighting his ability to handle pressure during extended matches on the biggest stage in tennis.
