Story summary

Tommy Paul of the US had a chance to get revenge against Carlos Alcaraz in their quarterfinal match at the US Open. However, Alcaraz, who has been out for four months with a wrist injury, dominated Paul in straight sets (6-4, 6-3, 6-4). This victory extends Alcaraz's winning streak to 18 and keeps him on track for back-to-back titles at the US Open. Alcaraz also becomes one win away from improving his record against American players at Grand Slams to 13-0. Aryna Sabalenka, the top-ranked player, also advanced to the quarterfinals by defeating Taylor Townsend in straight sets (6-4, 6-3).
