Jacob Fearnley criticized Alexander Zverev's lateness after losing to him at the US Open. This defeat marked the third time Fearnley faced Zverev this season, with Zverev winning in Australia, Miami, and now at the US Open with a 6-4 6-4 6-4 victory.

Fearnley mentioned that Zverev made him wait for over 10 minutes before their match, a behavior he experienced previously in Australia and also noted during Wimbledon with Novak Djokovic. Fearnley expressed his discomfort with the noise level at Louis Armstrong Stadium, the second-largest court at Flushing Meadows.

During the match, Fearnley impressed the crowd with his performance, saving match points and making notable shots that garnered applause from Zverev. Despite facing challenges like a shoulder injury and serving issues, Fearnley remains optimistic about overcoming these obstacles and improving his game.

Fearnley's shoulder injury, which he felt during the match and treated with painkillers, raises concerns for his participation in future events. With the Davis Cup approaching, Fearnley's condition adds to the team's uncertainties, especially with Jack Draper already expected to miss the upcoming play-off against Poland.
