Argentine tennis players have seen significant success at the US Open, with Francisco Cerúndolo, Tomás Etcheverry, and Mariano Navone all advancing to the third round.

Cerúndolo reached the third round for the first time in his career after a five-set victory (5-7, 7-5, 4-6, 6-2, 6-3) against Germany’s Jan-Lennard Struff; he is scheduled to face Taylor Fritz. Tomás Etcheverry secured his spot with a four-set win (6-3, 6-3, 3-6, 6-3) against Britain’s Jacob Fearnley. Etcheverry is set to face compatriot Mariano Navone in an all-Argentine matchup.

Navone advanced to the third round by defeating Italy’s Matteo Berrettini in four sets (3-6, 6-3, 6-4, 7-6). This performance follows his major first-round upset of Novak Djokovic. While primarily a clay-court specialist, the 25-year-old has demonstrated increasing proficiency on hard courts.

Other notable results included exits for Marco Trungelliti, who lost to Belgium’s Alexander Blockx, and Nadia Podoroska, who fell to Iga Swiatek.
