Daniil Medvedev, the fifth seed and 2021 US Open champion, advanced to the fourth round by defeating Italian Flavio Cobolli 6-3, 6-4, 6-3. The match showcased Medvedev's defensive prowess as he overcame Cobolli's spirited challenge, particularly in the third set where he faced break points. Medvedev noted the tricky conditions and emphasized the importance of maintaining top form throughout the tournament, especially with the unexpected exits of top players like Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz. He will next face Nuno Borges, whom he previously defeated at the Australian Open. Despite his recent strong performances, including a final appearance at the Australian Open earlier this year, Medvedev is in search of his first title since May 2022. This victory marks Medvedev's sixth consecutive year reaching the fourth round at the US Open.
