Zverev fails at US Open: surprise defeat shocks fans!
In a disappointing tournament, Alexander Zverev lost in the third round of the US Open against Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime 4:6, 7:6 (7:9), 4:6, 4:6. Despite his back problems, which he had previously mentioned, Zverev did not want to use them as an excuse for his defeat. After the game, he was self-critical about his performance and admitted that he had not played a good tournament and was not satisfied. This is particularly bitter for Zverev, who went into the tournament as one of the favorites to potentially fight for the title against top players like Jannik Sinner or Carlos Alcaraz. His season so far has been mixed and included a final appearance at the Australian Open, but also a disappointing first-round loss at Wimbledon and a quarterfinal exit at Roland Garros against Novak Djokovic, as Times Now News.
Auger-Aliassime, on the other hand, celebrated his first success against a top 5 player at a Grand Slam with this victory over Zverev. He will now face Russian Andrey Rublev in the fourth round. His performance has a lot of meaning for him and he reiterated that he continues to work hard on his game.
