British tennis players are experiencing mixed fortunes at the US Open. Jack Draper advanced to the third round with a commanding win over Facundo Díaz Acosta and now faces a potential showdown with former champion Carlos Alcaraz. Despite Draper's success, Katie Boulter suffered a disappointing defeat to Jessica Bouzas Maneiro, reflecting her struggles in Grand Slam tournaments this year despite a strong season otherwise. The US Open is notable this year for the absence of the 'Big Three'—Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic—from the winner's circle, signaling the end of an era in tennis. Daniil Medvedev remains the only previous champion still in the competition, and new contenders like Draper, Jannik Sinner, Alexander Zverev, and Medvedev himself could seize the title. Meanwhile, British player Dan Evans made headlines with a record-breaking five-set victory over Karen Khachanov and continues his campaign against Mariano Navone.
