Daniil Medvedev advanced to the third round of the US Open with a comfortable victory over Gorzny, needing only three sets to secure his place in the next phase of the tournament.

In another highlight of the competition, Ben Shelton faced greater difficulties and needed four sets to overcome Hurkacz, demonstrating that the path at the Grand Slam has not been easy for the young American.

Medvedev continues to show consistency in his game, remaining steady in the race for the US Open title, while Shelton will need to improve his performance if he wants to continue in the tournament.

Both players remain in competition, with Medvedev demonstrating greater control in his matches and Shelton facing more complex challenges in the early rounds.
