Spanish second seed Carlos Alcaraz cruised into the quarterfinals of the US Open with a commanding win over France’s Arthur Rinderknech, defeating him 7-6(5), 6-3, 6-4 on Arthur Ashe Stadium. The 22-year-old phenom has yet to drop a set at Flushing Meadows and has become the youngest man in the Open Era to reach 13 major quarterfinals.
“I think my style of tennis suits pretty well the energy here in New York,” Alcaraz said. “The fans day and night push me to play my best.”
Next up for Alcaraz is Czech rising star Jiri Lehecka, who booked his spot after upsetting Adrian Mannarino. Their upcoming clash promises a thrilling contrast of power and precision.
Meanwhile, two-time Grand Slam champion Barbora Krejcikova delivered one of the tournament’s most dramatic moments, fending off multiple match points to stage a stunning comeback and secure her place in the last eight. Her resilience adds another layer of intrigue to the women’s draw.
With top names firing on all cylinders, the US Open quarterfinals are shaping up to be a celebration of talent, determination, and history in the making under the New York lights.
