Our running report from Flushing Meadows recaps a drama-filled opening day.

The six-time Wimbledon champ pulled away from the Dutch wild card for a 6-2, 4-6, 6-1, 6-2 victory on a new-look Middle Sunday and next gets No. 10 seed Jannik Sinner in the quarterfinals.

Top 5 seeds have been falling at the All England Club, and the three in action on Sunday will receive stiff fourth-round tests.

The Dutchman flew to his first ATP title at home in ‘s-Hertogenbosch, earning him a wild card into a first Grand Slam main draw.

Big-name Brits, and their fans, will aim to make a statement in the second round of The Championships.

For the first time since November 2003, none of the Big 3 are in the Top 2. Also, Casper Ruud cracks the Top 5.

Elsewhere, Ekaterina Alexandrova sprinted to the finish line in Den Bosch to defeat Aryna Sabalenka for the crown.

The wild card completed his magical run with a 6-4, 6-1 victory over the top seed Sunday at the Libema Open.
