- On Saturday, American Taylor Fritz crashed out of the U.S. Open in the third round, losing to Argentine Francisco Cerundolo 3-6 4-6 6-3 6-4 6-4 in his earliest exit from his home major in four years.
- Fritz, a prime contender to end the 23-year U.S. men's major drought, had not dropped a set in previous rounds; Cerundolo reached the fourth round of the U.S. Open for the first time.
- Playing on Arthur Ashe Stadium for the first time, Cerundolo said, "He was playing way better than me the first two sets," while Fritz accumulated 54 unforced errors that proved decisive.
- Cerundolo advances to face either Belgian Alexander Blockx or Italian Flavio Cobolli in the fourth round, achieving his best result at a U.S. Open.
- With Fritz eliminated, six American men remain in the singles tournament seeking to break a 23-year drought; no American man has won a Grand Slam since Andy Roddick captured the 2003 U.S. Open at Flushing Meadows.
