damDay 3 of the 2025 US Open is already buzzing with storylines, and the action in New York promises to deliver more drama as the tournament heats up. Fans at Flushing Meadows are glued to the court as Lorenzo Musetti and French rising star Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard battle it out in an electrifying first-round showdown that could easily be mistaken for a later-stage clash.
Musetti, known for his silky one-handed backhand and flair for the spectacular, is facing off against Perricard, whose booming serve and aggressive net play make him one of the most dangerous young players on the ATP Tour. Early rallies have been a feast for the eyes—Musetti painting the lines with finesse, Perricard thundering down serves that crack 135 mph. It’s youth, talent, and raw power meeting elegance and tactical smarts.
But while the Musetti-Perricard showdown grabs early attention, fans are already looking ahead to the evening when women’s world No. 1 Iga Swiatek takes center stage. The Polish star, who has been nearly untouchable in 2025, will open her campaign under the bright Arthur Ashe lights. Swiatek enters the US Open as the heavy favorite after a summer of domination, and all eyes will be on how she handles the pressure of defending her crown in New York.
Elsewhere, the day’s schedule is stacked with big names and intriguing matchups. Americans are hoping for strong performances from home favorites, while a few seeded players will be fighting to avoid early upsets. The atmosphere is electric—Grand Slam tennis in its purest, most unpredictable form.
So far, Day 3 has been a rollercoaster, and it’s only just begun. With Musetti and Perricard locked in a fierce duel and Swiatek preparing to bring her trademark intensity to Ashe, fans are in for a long, thrilling day of world-class tennis.
Stay tuned—because at the US Open, every point tells a story, and Day 3 feels like the first page of something unforgettable.
