Zverev never made it to the third round at the US open

The sixth-ranked player in the world Alexandr Zverev made it to two French Open quarterfinals. However, he has never advanced past the third round at the US Open. Zverev started his journey through the 2019 US Open bracket against Radu Albot, who is ranked 40th in the world. His next stop will be against Frances Tiafoe. According to online sportsbook news in the US, Zverev is one of the next-generation players yet to make a breakthrough at the Grand Slam. His odds value at +2500 to end the dominance of the Big Three.

Kyrgios won two titles this season
