Felix Ojer-Eyasem stormed the last 16 of the United States, the United States Championship on Saturday evening by beating Awda on World No. Alexander Zvevv, which led to the output of one of the best title 4-6, 7-6 (7), 6-4, 6-4 at Luis Armstrong Stadium.
The Canadian twenty -fifth seed did not reach the second week in New York since his time in the semi -finals in 2021, but he called some of the best tennis in his career to secure the first Grand Salam’s victory over a five better discount. The match spanned three hours and 48 minutes and ended shortly before midnight, which resulted in the delay of the night session that followed.
“It is a really good feeling,” said Auger Alias. “I am still young, but I was working for this for years. Perhaps some people were watching me for the first time tonight, and showing this type of tennis at this stage means a lot. The tournament did not end, the job was not accomplished, but the nights like this kept me.”
Zverev, second in 2020 in New York and a half semi -final in the Australian Open Championship earlier this year, looked at full control after storming the opening match and easily stamped the first group. But as soon as Auger-Aliassim excelled in the second group, it was saved from the edge of the abyss through bold bullets and helped the line through a net wire, decisively transformed momentum.
The German grew increasingly with his terrestrial dysfunction, as he criticized his racket after he abdicated an early break in the third group. The Auger-Aliassim is unified with the clutch service and the winners of the introduction, while maintaining the zVREVE under pressure on the extended marches. When the Canadian erupted to Love Midway during the fourth group, the hooking of the slaughtered armstrong felt the upcoming. He closed it to the service, pumping his fist while ZVREV has been going out to its first director in the United States since 2018.
For Auger-Aliassim, the result was stimulant after uneven seasons and frequent injuries. Once he tilts as a future hero, he admitted that the belief has been tested. “I had a rise and a decline,” he said. “But you continue to work, you continue to believe. Tonight shows what is possible.”
Zverev, who is still chasing the first Grand Salam crown in 28 years, leaves New York in the third round for the first time in seven years. Summer Summer Summer stumbled after a defeat in the first round in Wimbledon, despite a strong spring that included another round to the quarter -finals Roland Garros.
Augar-Elias is advancing at a meeting in the fourth round with André Roblev from Russia, the fifteenth seed, who previously beat Coleman and Wong Cameron Nuri in five groups. Roblef has never advanced after the quarter -finals in one of the main attempts in 10 attempts, but he was consistent at this level, which made the second week in New York for the sixth time.
Elsewhere in the men’s draw, Janic Si’ar, the No. 1 world and one of the championship candidates, swept the last Dennis Shapovalov in Canada in four groups to keep its title sound.
On the side of the woman, Iga Swiatek recovered from 5-1 to the bottom at the opening of the Anna Kalinskaya Group in two parts, and its plan that was not defeated in night sessions in New York. The match that followed on Armstrong, Maria Sakari, did not start against Batorese Haddad Maya, until 11.28 pm due to the Augus-Elympic Marathon.
The table strain once again highlighted the constant discussion during the later finishes at night in Grand Slams. The US Open Championship presented the base last year that allows referees to transfer matches that did not start by 11.15 pm to the external courts, but with the presence of Armstrong in the depth of play, there was no real option.
