The second round of the US Open’s Grand Slam rounds for men at tennis closed and all “big” tennis players have secured further qualification.
Roger Federer, number 2 in the world, beat 3-0 (7-5, 6-4, 6-4) Frenchman Benoit Paire, a match where the Swiss had a slight advantage all the time and deserved victory. Paire rivaled to the end, but without the strength to defeat a legend like Federer.
In the third round, Serbia’s Novak Djokovic, who lost a set, managed to win 3-1 against US Tennys Sandgren (6-1, 6-3, 6-7, 6-2). A game and a good match by Djokovic, who had the lead in the field against the American rival. Not disappointed even Frenchman Richard Gasquet, who defeated Lasle Djere 3-0 (6-3, 7-6, 6-3), while Croatian Marin Cilic defeated 3-0 (6-2, 6-0, 6-0) Hubert Hurkacz.
Nicolas Mahut won 3-0 (6-4, 6-4, 6-2) against Nicolas Mahut, while rebellious Australian Nick Kyrgios eliminated Pierre Herbert, claiming that the world’s No. 3 Grand Slam winning with a 3-1 (4-6, 7-6, 6-3, 6-0) overturn.
