Us open 2025 day seven summary

Day seven at the US Open saw men’s draws trimmed to the last sixteen, with three of the eight matches that ended in retirement.

World No. 1 Jannik Sinner survived a string test from Denis Shapovalov, rally from a set and a break deficit in the third, while Felix Auger-Aliassime produced one of his best sludge performances to stroke the third seed Alexander Zverev. Alexander Bublic also reached the second week in New York for the first time and sanded past Tommy Paul in five sets.

Elsewhere, the retirements paved the way for progress: Lorenzo Musetti advanced when compatriot Flavio Cobolli pulled in contact early in the third, Leandro Riedi moved through when Kamil Majchrzak ended at 5-3 in the opener, and Alex de Minara was favored by Daniel Altmaier’s withdrawal after three hours.

In the finished matches, Jaume moved quietly into the last 16 by beating Zizou Bergs in straight sets, while Andrey Rublev survived a five-set Duel against Coleman Wong.

Today’s summary

Jannik Sinner Def. Denis Shapovalov, 5-7, 6-4, 6-3, 6-3

Jannik Sinner gathered past the 27th Frö Denis Shapovalov 5-7, 6-4, 6-3, 6-3, and twist the tide after saving a breaking point at 0-3 in the third set.

World No. 1 won 84% of first serve (54/64) and claimed 12 of the last 15 matches in a three-hour 12-minute victory.

I had meant that no one but Alcaraz can compete with sinners, but Shapovalov proved it wrong, because he was very competitive, and I thought the sinner looked considerable.

Shapovalov was well at the top and led 3-0 in the third, but Sinner saved a breaking point, and then on 1-3, Deuce on Shapovalov’s server, he changed shoes due to a broken shoe lantern.

At the resumption, he broke back and claimed the control from there. Tactical or necessity? Based on the pictures, the cords were snapped, so I don’t have too much problem with it, whether he would have changed them when he led 40-0 on his own service, however, is debate.

Sinner meets Alexander Bublic next and leads 4-2 in his head-to-head.

Felix Auger-Aliassime Def. Alexander Zverev, 4-6, 7-6 (7), 6-4, 6-4

Felix Auger-Aliassime upset third seed Alexander Zverev 4-6, 7-6 (7), 6-4, 6-4, which marks its first Flushing Meadow’s second weeks of driving since 2021.

The 25th seed won around the clock net points, fired 51 winners and saved a second-set tiebreak score in a three-hour, 48-minute battle.

Felix has not been good at the tour in recent years. While he took up many gains to maintain his top 20/30 ranking, relative to the hype he generated when he burst on stage, he has been a non-unit at the big events.

But he had one of the matches where everything clicked today, and he was by far the stronger player, because he secured his best win by ranking on a sludge.

Zverev, on the other hand, seems to lack confidence and struggles to play with conviction. Are it the balls (s), as he claimed, or just a lack of faith in his game right now?

I had absolutely no sense of the ball at all here, the first two matches either. When it is, I also tried today to be aggressive a few times, but I only miss. So you try to find ways to win the match differently, but it’s really hard to do it when someone plays well as [Felix]aggressive like him, and you just don’t feel good. There is not really a shot that I felt good from any side: Prior, backhand. My backhand was all of this week. That’s how it is. Zverev on his loss.

Alexander Bublik Def. Tommy Paul, 7-6 (5), 6-7 (4), 6-3, 6-7 (5), 6-1

Alexander Bublic exceeded the 14th seed Tommy Paul 7-6 (5), 6-7 (4), 6-3, 6-7 (5), 6-1 to make its first American appearance on the second week.

Bublik has said several times that he did not like to play on us tough courts, but he fired 22 ESS and won 83% of first serve points while all 6 break points met on the way to the victory.

Bublic was in excellent form after Wimbledon and landed back-to-back titles in Gstaad and Kitzbuhel, and he has transported that momentum to New York without playing any of the leading Masters 1000 events.

Can he challenge sinners? I’m not sure. He will need an excellent serving day and somehow disturb the Italian from the baseline with his mix-up game.
