NEW YORK, Sept ⁠5 (Reuters) - Top seed Alexander Zverev lost his way in the second set but ⁠got his game back under control to secure a 6-2 7-6(2) 6-2 victory ‌over Alejandro Tabilo and reach the fourth round of the U.S. Open on Saturday.

After spending a gruelling nine hours and 26 minutes on court across back-to-back five-setters against Lorenzo Sonego and Quentin Halys, the last ​thing the German would have wanted was another long night ⁠on Arthur Ashe Stadium.
