Andrey Rublev is once again in a Grand Slam quarterfinals
Will it work this time with Andrey Rublev entering the semifinals of a major for the first time? In any case, the Russian laid the foundation for this. Never number eight in the world beat the unseeded Briton Jack Draper, currently only number 123, 6: 3, 3: 6, 6: 3, 6: 4. And that in front of an enthusiastic audience in the packed Louis Armstrong Stadium. In the quarterfinals on Wednesday, Rublev will now face either Daniil Medvedev or Alex de Minaur.
Defending champion Carlos Alcaraz marched into the quarterfinals with even fewer problems, easily winning his 11th straight match at Flushing Meadows. The Wimbledon winner from Spain defeated the Italian Matteo Arnaldi 6: 3, 6: 3, 6: 4 in the round of 16 and was well prepared for a possible duel with Alexander Zverev.

Alcaraz is waiting for Zverev or Sinner
The German Olympic champion and Jannik Sinner play the next and by far the toughest opponent of the only 20-year-old model athlete on Tuesday night. Alcaraz is definitely the favorite – even if he beat the brave world number 61. Arnaldi, who had never survived the second round of a Grand Slam tournament before, had not yet offered his very best tennis.
“I played a very solid match and made few mistakes, so I’m very satisfied,” said Alcaraz on the stadium microphone: “Afterwards I’ll watch Jannik against Sascha, it’s a nice match to watch. The quarter-finals will definitely be there very hard.”
Alcaraz won an epic quarter-final in five sets last year against Sinner. Alcaraz lost the only Grand Slam match against Zverev in four sets in the quarterfinals of the French Open in 2022.
