- Fritz, a prime contender to end the 23-year U.S. men's major drought, had not dropped a set in previous rounds; Cerundolo reached the fourth round of the U.S. Open for the first time.

- Cerundolo advances to face either Belgian Alexander Blockx or Italian Flavio Cobolli in the fourth round, achieving his best result at a U.S. Open.
- With Fritz eliminated, six American men remain in the singles tournament seeking to break a 23-year drought; no American man has won a Grand Slam since Andy Roddick captured the 2003 U.S. Open at Flushing Meadows.
