Alexander Zverev defeated Jacob Fearnley 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 in the second round of the US Open 2025 at the Louis Armstrong stadium, while the third Coco Gauff seed also defeated Donna Veki to advance on Friday, August.
The third seed was given early breaks in the first two sets before Fearnley scripted a lively comeback. After two hundred down, Briton saved five match points in three exciting peas in the third set and fought with his arm injury. The fighting spirit of Fearnley also gained praise from Zverev in an interview with the court.
“Credit on him. He started playing incredible tennis. He wasn’t very bad, but he played some fantastic points. In the end he did interesting, but I’m glad I went through,” Zverev said in his court interview.
On the other hand, the former Coco Gauff champion recovered from numerous service mistakes to defeat Donna Vekic 7-6 (5) 6-2 and walked into the 3rd round. Gauff was tested in the first File of Vekic, but managed to control her string of unforced errors to clean her up in a fairy tale.
Gauff further earned a number of mistakes from Vekice in the second set to seal the victory. After the victory, Gauff revealed how the presence of the American gymnast Simone Biles inspired her to bring her the game to the forefront.
“I saw her and she helped me pull it out. I thought,” If she can go to a six -inch beam and do it with all the pressure of the world, then I can hit the ball in this court. It’s inspiration, “Gauff said in her conversation.
After her victory, in the third round, Magdalena Frch, Polish, will be accepted, while Alexander Zverev locks the corners of Canadian aliassime Felix Auger.
