American Frances Tiafoe and German fourth seed Alexander Zverev were among the winners on a Day 3 at the US Open that saw several retirements amid brutal temperatures and high humidity at Flushing Meadows.
Tiafoe, who reached the US Open semifinals in 2022, was in complete control when Shevchenko, who had the trainer out after the second set, suddenly called it a day.
Tiafoe broke Shevchenko to take the first set and grabbed a 5-1 double-break lead in the second before serving out the one-sided match.Tiafoe has now won 11 of his past 15 matches since bringing David Witt on as his coach in Atlanta, highlighted by a run to his first Masters 1000 final in Cincinnati. Prior to that, Tiafoe had a 15-15 record at the tour level this season through Wimbledon.
Zverev proved too much for world No. 77 Muller, who committed 41 unforced errors and battled through an apparent leg injury in brutal temperatures and high humidity at Flushing Meadows.
