The US Open quarterfinals are halfway complete, with American players Taylor Fritz and Frances Tiafoe advancing. Fritz is set to face Alexander Zverev on Friday, while Tiafoe will take on 2019 champion Grigor Dimitrov.
In the women’s competition, Emma Navarro once again triumphed over Coco Gauff and will now face Paula Badosa. Aryna Sabalenka awaits the winner of the gold medal rematch between Qinwen Zheng and Donna Vekic.
On Monday, Jessica Pegula, who has won 12 of her last 13 matches, will face Diana Shnaider, who is appearing in her first Grand Slam fourth round. Later in the evening, Iga Swiatek will take on Liudmila Samsonova.
On Louis Armstrong Stadium, Karolina Muchova will aim for a fourth consecutive win over Jasmine Paolini, and last year’s semifinalist will face a tough test. Caroline Wozniacki will meet 22nd seed Beatriz Haddad Maia.
In the men’s draw, Jannik Sinner and Daniil Medvedev are both just one win away from a potential quarterfinal clash. Medvedev is the heavy favorite against Nuno Borges, while Sinner will face Tommy Paul in a highly anticipated evening showdown.
Elsewhere, Jack Draper and Tomas Machac will compete for their first Slam quarterfinal, and one Australian, either Alex de Minaur or Jordan Thompson, is guaranteed a spot in the last eight.
