Taylor Fritz defeated Camilo Ugo Carabelli 7–5, 6–1, 6–2 in the first round of the US Open on hard court at Flushing Meadows on 26 August 2024. Fritz, the overwhelming pre-match favourite at 1.02 odds, delivered a commanding performance to justify his status, though Carabelli contested the opening set before Fritz's superior court control became apparent in the second and third sets. The American's dominant display, particularly his efficiency in the latter two sets, underscored his positioning as a serious contender in the draw. Fritz advances to the second round with momentum and confidence intact.
