\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Third seed Daniil Medvedev overcame a late wobble to hold off a spirited challenge from Argentina\u2019s Sebastian Baez and reach the US Open last 16.<\/p>\n

Medvedev, who lifted the title in 2021, took his fourth match point at 01:30 local time to win 6-2 6-2 7-6 (8-6).<\/p>\n

The 27-year-old Russian also finished his previous match against Chris O\u2019Connell in the early hours and said finishing so late was \u201ctough\u201d.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cI just want to go to sleep. It\u2019s good we did not finish at 4am,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you go to play at 11pm, it just feels tough. This time I decided not to sleep before and I ate, so I was feeling pretty bad on the court.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s why I was nervous all the match.\u201d
Medvedev will play\u00a0Alex de Minaur\u00a0<\/strong>in the fourth round after the Australian 13th seed recorded a straightforward 6-1 6-3 6-2 victory over Chile\u2019s Nicolas Jarry in one hour and 44 minutes.<\/p>\n

Italian sixth seed\u00a0Jannik Sinner<\/strong>\u00a0knocked out former champion Stan Wawrinka in a 6-3 2-6 6-4 6-2 win.<\/p>\n

Sinner, 22 will play Germany\u2019s\u00a0Alexander Zverev<\/strong>\u00a0after the 2020 finalist beat Bulgarian 19th seed Grigor Dimitrov in a 6-7 (2-7) 7-6 (8-6) 6-1 6-1 victory.<\/p>\n

Russia\u2019s\u00a0Andrey Rublev<\/strong>\u00a0also secured his last-16 spot with a 3-6 6-3 6-1 7-5 victory over Arthur Rinderknech of France.<\/p>\n

The eighth seed will next face Britain\u2019s\u00a0Jack Draper,<\/strong>\u00a0who reached the fourth round of a Grand Slam for the first time with a win over Michael Mmoh.<\/p>\n

Draper, 21, is the only remaining Briton in the singles after Cameron Norrie lost to Italy\u2019s\u00a0Matteo Arnaldi<\/strong>\u00a0and Dan Evans was beaten by defending champion\u00a0Carlos Alcaraz.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Victories for Sinner and Spanish top seed Alcaraz mean the pair could face each other in the last eight for a rematch of last year\u2019s quarter-final tie \u2013 a five-set thriller won by the Spaniard, which set a record for the latest finish at the tournament of 02:50 local time.<\/p>\n
