Tsitsipas reaches US Open round of 16 for first time

Overview

Following his historic victory at the Cincinnati Masters 1000, Arthur Fils’s momentum was halted at the 2026 US Open. Entering the tournament as the 10th seed, Fils suffered a major upset against unseeded Stefanos Tsitsipas, losing 4-6, 7-6(3), 6-1, 6-4.

Tsitsipas continued his run by defeating South Africa’s Lloyd Harris in a four-set match, 6-7(1), 6-3, 7-6(4), 6-4. He then faced the 18th seed, Jiří Lehečka, in the third round. Tsitsipas secured a victory over Lehečka with a score of 2–6, 6–1, 7–6(3), 6–1, marking the first time in his career that he has reached the US Open round of 16.

This milestone represents Tsitsipas’s first appearance in the second week of the US Open in nine appearances and his first Grand Slam fourth round since Roland Garros 2024. Currently ranked No. 53, his recent form has been bolstered by a new coaching collaboration with Patrick Mouratoglou and Tomas Pericic; Mouratoglou noted that this partnership has provided the player with ‘greater stability and consistency.’ Tsitsipas is scheduled to face either Ben Shelton or Denis Shapovalov in the next round.
