Story summary

Here is a summary of the news story in 8 sentences:

Taylor Fritz, the second-highest-ranked American in the US Open tournament, suffered a shocking defeat to Francisco Cerundolo in the third round. Fritz had taken an early lead, winning the first two sets 6-3 and 6-4, but Cerundolo staged a remarkable comeback, winning the next three sets 3-6, 4-6, 4-6. This loss marks a disappointing end to Fritz's US Open campaign, which had been expected to be a strong one given his ranking. Cerundolo, ranked 24th, has now become one of the surprise contenders in the tournament. Meanwhile, other American players like Madison Keys and Amanda Anisimova also suffered losses in their third-round matches. However, Coco Gauff, another top-ranked American player, continued her strong performance, advancing to the next round along with Alexander Zverev. The US Open tournament has seen several late-night finishes, raising concerns about the impact on players' physical and mental health. As the competition continues, it remains to be seen which players will emerge as the strongest contenders for the title.
