Carlos Alcaraz shows no rust, continues to dominate at US Open
Playing in his first tournament in four months following a wrist injury, Carlos Alcaraz has dropped just one set over his first four matches.
In his first tournament since a wrist injury, No. 2 seed Carlos Alcaraz demonstrated no signs of rust at the US Open, advancing to the quarterfinals with a dominating 6-4, 6-3, 6-4 win over No. 20 seed Tommy Paul on Sunday, Sept. 6 in New York. The 23-year-old Spaniard, who has dropped only one set in his first four matches, broke Tommy's serve multiple times and outperformed him in winners and first-serve points.
Alcaraz, a seven-time Grand Slam winner and defending US Open champion, expressed satisfaction with his performance, stating that he played his game and tried to be aggressive throughout the match. He also mentioned that Tommy's shots were dangerous and sometimes difficult to control. Alcaraz has won 7-2 against Tommy in head-to-head matches across all Grand Slam events, becoming just the 10th player to achieve this feat in the Open Era.
The Spaniard will now face the winner of the match between No. 8 seed Ben Shelton and unseeded Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas.
