Overview
- Carlos Alcaraz beat Tommy Paul in straight sets on Sunday to move into the US Open quarterfinals and said he now feels capable of winning the title.
- Francisco Cerúndolo overturned a two‑set deficit to defeat ninth seed Taylor Fritz and is set to play Alexander Blockx for a place in the last eight.
- American Alex Michelsen defeated Tomás Etcheverry to reach his first Grand Slam quarterfinal, ending the Argentine’s best-ever run at Flushing Meadows.
- Qinwen Zheng rallied from the brink to defeat Madison Keys by winning the last seven games and will face a top seed next in the women’s draw.
- The tournament’s late phase is unusually open after multiple major upsets have eliminated six of the top 10 men’s seeds and cleared paths for several younger or lower‑ranked players.
