Tennis- Yesterday at the US OPEN. Federer , Djokovic progreses to 3rd round

                                             

Federer was crisp in a 7-5, 6-4, 6-4 win over Benoit Paire and made it 18 of 18 lifetime in the second round of the U.S. Open. Up next, Federer plays No. 30 seed Nick Kyrgios on Saturday.
In other second-round matches, No. 6 seed Novak Djokovic wasted a match point in the third set, before going on to win 6-1, 6-3, 6-7 (2), 6-2 against Tennys Sandgren.
No. 4 seed Alexander Zverev, who had been knocked out in the second round in his three previous appearances here, reached the third round with a 6-4, 6-4, 6-2 win over Nicolas Mahut.

Gael Monfils and Pablo Carreno Busta both retired from their second-round matches because of injuries.

Monfils retired in the second set of his match against 2014 runner-up Kei Nishikori because of an injured right wrist. The 39th-ranked Monfils, a semifinalist at Flushing Meadows two years ago, was treated by a trainer and had his wrist taped up. But he unraveled the tape shortly before saying he could not continue.

Monfils was trailing 6-2, 5-4 when he stopped.

Joao Sousa of Portugal led Carreno Busta 4-6, 6-3, 5-7, 6-2, 2-0 when the No. 12 seed from Spain had to stop playing.

No. 14 seed Fabio Fognini of Italy was upset in the second round by 55th-ranked John Millman of Australia 6-1, 4-6, 6-4, 6-1.

By reaching the third round, Millman equaled his best showing at any Grand Slam tournament .
