Alcaraz Dominates U.S. Open, Extends Grand Slam Streak
6 Sep
Summary
- Alcaraz advanced to the U.S. Open Round of 16 with a swift victory.
- He extended his Grand Slam winning streak to 17 matches.
- Alcaraz's next opponent is fellow American Tommy Paul.
Second-seeded Carlos Alcaraz continued his strong performance at the U.S. Open, advancing to the Round of 16 with a commanding 6-3, 6-4, 6-1 victory over China's Wu Yibing. This win extended Alcaraz's Grand Slam winning streak to an impressive 17 matches, as he pursues consecutive U.S. Open titles.
Despite a four-month absence due to a wrist injury, Alcaraz has displayed remarkable form, dropping only one set in his return to competitive play. The match, though closer than the scoreline suggests in the early sets, saw Alcaraz pull away decisively in the third.
Alcaraz is set to face American Tommy Paul in the next round. Paul secured his spot by defeating Alexander Bublik in a five-set thriller. This marks Alcaraz's first match against a seeded opponent since his return, and he holds a favorable head-to-head record against Paul.
Elsewhere, Daniil Medvedev and Stefanos Tsitsipas also advanced to the fourth round with straight-sets victories. American Ben Shelton secured a late-night win, while Alex Michelsen also progressed.
