- Drawing on Grand Slam form, Shapovalov's Grand Slam record is 28-0 when leading after two sets, while Auger-Aliassime was a 2021 U.S. Open semifinalist and Shapovalov reached the 2020 U.S. Open quarterfinal.
- Statistically, Denis Shapovalov dominated with 10 aces and 74 per cent of first-serve points, powering his straight-sets win.
- The victories leave all three seeded Canadians in the men's main draw in the second round, with Shapovalov facing French wild-card Valentin Royer on Thursday and Auger-Aliassime set to meet either French veteran Gael Monfils or Russia's Roman Safiullin.
- With a broad international audience, the 144-year-old U.S. Open has recently rivaled the Super Bowl as a magnet for Hollywood and business, the USTA says, reaching fans in more than 200 countries and counting over 5 million Instagram and TikTok followers.
