Zverev entered as the top seed at the US Open for the first time after Jannik Sinner’s withdrawal, riding momentum from his French Open title and Wimbledon final appearance while holding a perfect 6-0 head-to-head edge over Sonego. The German created 22 break-point opportunities across the five-set marathon but converted only five, battling uncharacteristic forehand errors early before improving movement and return quality on the hard courts. Sonego, ranked No. 89, delivered an aggressive net-rushing display and tracked down balls with superior court speed, pushing Zverev to the brink in a 4-hour, 53-minute contest that ended at 1:55 a.m. and marked the German’s second-longest Grand Slam match. Zverev avoided a historic first-round exit for a top seed while advancing to face Quentin Halys.
