Tennis prodigies Gauff and Swiatek struggle while a sinner progresses in the US Open competition.
In the ongoing US Open 2025 tournament, several notable matches took place on day three.
Alexander Zverev continued his impressive form, cruising to a win over Britain's Jacob Fearnley. Meanwhile, Lorenzo Musetti eased past Belgium's David Goffin in a straight-set victory.
Third seed Coco Gauff displayed great resolve, overcoming another shaky performance to win against Donna Vekic. Gauff drew inspiration from Simone Biles during her match, channeling the Olympic gymnast's resilience to secure the victory.
If Gauff progresses, she could face Naomi Osaka in a last-16 clash. Osaka won her match against American Hailey Baptiste and will meet Australian 15th seed Daria Kasatkina in the last 32.
Jannik Sinner, the top seed and aiming to become the first man to repeat as champion since Roger Federer, had a dominating performance. Sinner dropped only four games in his opening win and said he is aiming to improve on his serve. The Italian star will face Canadian 27th seed Denis Shapovalov in the third round on Saturday.
Sinner has reached the final of all three Grand Slams this season, winning the Australian Open and Wimbledon. His current winning streak on hard courts in Grand Slam events stands at 23 consecutive matches.
Russian 15th seed Andrey Rublev beat American wild card Tristan Boyer in four sets and will face Hong Kong's Coleman Wong in the last-32. Wong, a 21-year-old qualifier, extended his New York fairytale with a win over Australian Adam Walton.
Czech 11th seed Karolina Muchova edged past Sorana Cirstea in three sets. Gauff will face Poland's Magdalena French in the third round, while Iga Swiatek will face Russian 29th seed Anna Kalinskaya for a spot in the last 16.
Jelena Swiatek's opponent in the third round of the US Open 2025 is not explicitly stated in the available search results. However, she opens the tournament in the first round against the Dutch player Lamens. Swiatek has won 16 of her last 17 matches following titles at Wimbledon and Cincinnati.
