Brit Jacob Fearnley: Alexander Zverev beat Alejandro Tabilo of Chile, 6-2, 7-6(4), 6-4, to wrap up an opening round of the US Open.

Zverev fought off top-notch tennis at times from Tabilo to reach the US Open second round for the ninth time.

Zverev broke to start the match and sprinted through the opening set. Tabilo settled in and held his own in the second, serving first and leading the entire way until the tiebreak. The left-hander even had a set point on Zverev’s racquet at 5-6, Ad-out, after blasting an inside-out forehand crosscourt winner.
