Alcaraz excited to face 'dangerous' Paul for US Open quarter-final berth
Defending champion Carlos Alcaraz will be under the microscope again on Sunday taking on 20th-seeded American Tommy Paul for a place in the US Open quarter-finals.
Carlos Alcaraz is eager to face former Wimbledon champion Tommy Paul in the US Open quarter-final. The 20th-seeded American poses a significant challenge due to his dangerous playing style, according to Alcaraz. The Spaniard admits he hasn't played at his best since returning from a four-month wrist injury, but is improving his sharpness and decision-making on court.
The day also sees two-time defending champion Aryna Sabalenka and third-ranked American Jessica Pegula competing, with the potential to overtake Sabalenka in the rankings. Another match to watch is Linda Noskova's attempt to advance in her quest for another Grand Slam title against the formidable Marta Kostyuk.
