Alcaraz delivers statement win to reach last eight
Carlos Alcaraz continued his return from long-term injury with a hugely impressive fourth-round win against Tommy Paul at the US Open.
Carlos Alcaraz, the 23-year-old Spaniard, returned from a four-month injury absence with a dominant win at the US Open. Playing his fourth competitive singles match since his long-term injury, Alcaraz defeated Tommy Paul 6-4, 6-3, and 6-4. The American 20th seed Paul suffered his first set loss of the tournament, while Alcaraz extended his winning streak at major tournaments to an impressive 18 matches.
The wrist injury that kept Alcaraz out of the French Open and Wimbledon earlier this summer did not impact his performance, as he maintained the same level of shot-making quality. Alcaraz has never lost to Tommy Shelton or Stefanos Tsitsipas at Tour level, with six wins against Tsitsipas and three against Shelton. After his victory, Alcaraz remarked, "I think so.
Except for one year since [his US Open debut in] 2021, I’ve made the quarter-finals here." His next opponent will be either Ben Shelton or Stefanos Tsitsipas in the quarter-finals.
