Toby Samuel defeated Tomas Machac 6-2, 6-3, 6-2 — US Open 2026 R128.
Toby Samuel and Tomas Machac: Toby Samuel leads 1–0 across 1 recorded meeting.
The rankings said upset; the betting market never did, with 10Bet's price installing the No. 110-ranked qualifier as a 56 percent favorite over a man 52 places above him. Machac then held six of his 12 service games, won 51 percent of first-serve points and handed over 25 unforced errors to 13 the other way, which is how a 148-point match finishes 92-56 in 90 minutes. His lone break, for 2-0 in the third, lasted one game before Samuel broke straight back for 1-2 and twice more after that. Beaten in his opening match in Paris and at Wimbledon this season, the Briton draws No. 19 Jiri Lehecka next.
