Paul outlasts Bublik in five sets to reach US Open last 16

Tommy Paul recovered from a two-sets-to-one deficit to beat Alexander Bublik 6-4 3-6 6-7 6-1 6-3 in the US Open round of 32, taking control once the match stretched into a decider. The American's serve was the steadier of the two: 66.7 percent of his first deliveries landed, and he won 76.6 percent of those points against 72.6 for Bublik. The second serve told the rest of the story, Paul winning 59.6 percent behind his to Bublik's 49.2, with the Kazakh's 16 aces offset by six double faults and a first-serve rate of just 58.7 percent. Paul, with one double fault and nine aces, moved into the fourth round on home soil.
