Emotions run high, new records set as injury troubles plague US Open
==================================================
Unseeded American Taylor Townsend has made a significant impact in the women's draw, securing a victory over fifth seed Mirra Andreeva. Meanwhile, fourth seed Taylor Fritz has also advanced, defeating Jerome Kym in a close match, 7-6(3) 6-7(9) 6-4 6-4.
In the men's draw, fourth seed Taylor Fritz has progressed to the fourth round, while defending champion Carlos Alcaraz has overcome knee concerns to win his match. Novak Djokovic, inching closer to a record 25th Grand Slam title, has also reached the fourth round. The Serbian legend has become the oldest man to reach the last 16 at Flushing Meadows since Jimmy Connors in 1991.
Former Wimbledon winner Marketa Vondrousova and defending women's champion Aryna Sabalenka have also advanced, with Sabalenka seeking revenge for her 2021 U.S. Open semi-final upset at the hands of Leylah Fernandez. Unfortunately, Emma Raducanu's title defence came to an end as she lost to Elena Rybakina.
The women's draw has seen some upsets, with Emma Navarro losing to Barbora Krejcikova, and Frances Tiafoe losing to Jan-Lennard Struff in the men's draw. However, there was an entertaining contest between Adrian Mannarino and Ben Shelton, who had to withdraw from the tournament due to a shoulder injury. Despite this setback, Shelton remains optimistic about his career.
In an interesting statistic, Novak Djokovic has surpassed Roger Federer to have the most hardcourt victories at the majors. The US Open 2022 continues to provide exciting matches and surprising results, with the rounds progressing. The fourteenth seed Tommy Paul has advanced to the fourth round, with a match against Alexander Bublik scheduled for Saturday.
