Overview

• Alcaraz won 6-1, 6-0, 6-3 in 96 minutes on Arthur Ashe Stadium in a victory described as among the quickest of this US Open.
• He will face world No. 34 Luciano Darderi next, their first meeting on the ATP Tour.
• The result lifted his 2025 record to 56-6 and his Grand Slam mark this year to 19-2.
• “I played a very solid match,” Alcaraz said, noting he hit his pre-match targets despite a few areas to refine.
• With a deeper run than Jannik Sinner in New York, Alcaraz would reclaim No. 1, as Sinner’s 64-week hold on the top spot continues heading into his match with Alexei Popyrin.
