The US Open is one of the four Grand Slam tennis tournaments. Lorenzo Musetti was seeded 13th and Flavio Cobolli 5th.
Lorenzo Musetti collapses in the second round of the US Open. The Italian, seeded no.13, was beaten by the Australian Dane Sweeny, no.115 in the ATP rankings, in 4 sets (3-6, 6-1, 6-2, 6-2) and 2 hours and 36' of play
Musetti's collapse was also caused by physical problems, with dizziness that also forced him to take a medical time out halfway through the second set. The defeat could cause the Italian to drop out of the top 20 in the world rankings.
Meanwhile, Sweeny finds another Italian in the third round, Darderi, who won today over Svrcina. "Without Sinner, and with Alcaraz on the other side of the scoreboard, all opponents are possible. Today, in my opinion, they are all playable, except Alcaraz, who I saw in crazy form again after four months."
Flavio Cobolli enters the third round of the US Open. The Italian, seeded no. 5, beat the Australian Tristan Schoolkate in four sets (3-6, 6-3, 6-4, 7-5) and 2 hours and 42 minutes of play
