Daniil Medvedev advanced to the third round of the US Open 2024 by defeating Fabian Marozsan in straight sets, 6-3, 6-2, 7-6(5). Medvedev capitalized on Marozsan's 45 unforced errors and numerous poorly-timed drop shots to secure the win, despite struggling with his own serve, including four double faults. The match featured six breaks of serve in the first set, showcasing a shaky start from both players. Medvedev, who has faced early exits in recent tournaments, expressed relief and happiness after the match. He will face Italy's 31st seed Flavio Cobolli in the next round. Medvedev has a complex relationship with the Flushing Meadows crowd, which remained largely unenthusiastic despite his victory.
