Fearnley Secures First US Open Win Amid Nerves and Heckler. Britain’s Jacob Fearnley claimed his first US Open main-draw victory, overcoming nerves and a disruptive fan to defeat Spain’s Roberto Bautista Agut 7-5, 6-2, 5-7, 6-4 in a late-night battle. The 24-year-old struggled with his serve early, hitting 16 double faults, but steadied in the fourth set to clinch the three-hour, 24-minute match—the longest of his career - According to BBC. Fearnley, the only Briton to advance on Tuesday, now faces German third seed Alexander Zverev in the second round, a player who previously defeated him at both the Australian and Miami Opens this year. Despite his rapid rise from outside the world’s top 500 to cracking the top 50 in just over a year, Fearnley admits tension still affects his serve, but he sees each high-pressure match as a learning opportunity. With this win, Fearnley has now recorded a victory at all four Grand Slam tournaments, marking another milestone in his growing career.
