The first surprise of this US Open 2021. The young American, Zachary Svajda, 18 years old and 716e world, honored his wild card. He qualifies for the 2e round thanks to a victory in four sets against Marco Cecchinato (81e world): 7–6 (6), 5–7, 6–4, 6–4, in 3 hours of play.

In this way, Zachary Svajda had already been able to play the 1is round of the last Grand Slam of the year in 2019. He was then 16 years old and had made a good impression against Paolo Lorenzi despite his defeat in four sets.
