Russian Daniil Medvedev: No. 5 seed Russian Daniil Medvedev managed to stop the flow of former US Open champions eliminations after beating Flavio Cobolli, the No. 31 seed, to enter the fourth round of the hard court major.

Medvedev disoatched young Italian Cobolli 6-3, 6-4, 6-3 in two hours, 18 minutes to set a fourth-round showdown with Portugal's Nuno Borges, who beat Jakub Mensik in their five-set Round 3 contest—which kept the Portuguese player on court for nearly four hours.

After chaotic exits of former champions Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz, the 2021 US Open winner Medvedev is now the only former champion in the men's singles left at the season's last major at the Flushing Meadows.
