Post of the day

You do not want to go to five sets with Kei Nishikori. The Japanese was two sets up against Mackenzie McDonald before the American mounted a comeback. However, the 2014 runner-up showed his durability to earn a 7-6 (3) 6-3 6-7 (5) 2-6 6-3 victory. His reward is a third-round tie with Novak Djokovic.

Shock of the day

Veteran Italian Andreas Seppi, playing in an 18th consecutive US Open, defeated 10th seed and Wimbledon semi-finalist Hubert Hurkacz 2-6 6-4 6-4 7-6 (6).

Quote of the day

Brit watch

There seems to be no stopping 18-year-old Emma Raducanu, who backed up her brilliant run to the fourth round at Wimbledon by booking her third-round spot on her US Open debut. Raducanu beat world number 49 Zhang Shuai 6-2 6-4 in a polished display and her journey might not be over yet.

Fallen seeds

Men: Hubert Hurkacz (10), Alexander Bublik (31)
Women: Paula Badosa (24), Petra Martic (30)

Up next
