Carlos Alcaraz made an impressive return from injury at the US Open, defeating Tommy Paul in straight sets 6-4 6-3 6-4. After a four-month absence, the 23-year-old Spaniard dropped only one set en route to the last eight, where he will face American eighth seed Ben Shelton. Injuries to Alcaraz's wrist forced him to miss both the French Open and Wimbledon earlier this summer.
The young tennis star is taking his recovery very seriously, focusing on staying healthy and in top shape for his next match. American former player Jeff Tarango noted that if Shelton advances, he could pose a significant challenge due to his powerful serve. Former British number one Tim Henman praised Alcaraz's shot-making and confidence, stating that he met all the expectations set for the tournament.
Meanwhile, Frances Tiafoe, Alex Michelsen, and Ben Shelton all advanced to the quarter-finals, boosting hopes for a first American men's Grand Slam champion since 2003.
