Tennis sensation Carlos Alcaraz proceeds to US Open quarter-finals; Halle Pegula secures advancement as well
The US Open 2025 is heating up with some exciting matches on the horizon. Let's take a look at the current happenings.
In the men's draw, the semifinals are set with an intriguing lineup. Defending champion Jannik Sinner will face Canadian Félix Auger-Aliassime, while Spanish Carlos Alcaraz, the 2022 champion, will square off against Serbian Novak Djokovic. Alcaraz, who has yet to drop a set at the tournament, is moving closer to a potential semi-final match against Djokovic.
Meanwhile, Jiri Lehecka, the Czech 20th seed, is poised to crack the top 20 after his quarter-final run at the US Open. Lehecka battled past Adrian Mannarino in four sets, securing his place in the last eight. The other men's fourth round match on Sunday features fourth seed Taylor Fritz against Tomas Machac from the Czech Republic.
On the women's side, the tournament has seen some unexpected developments. Jessica Pegula, who extended her campaign into a second week, may face a repeat of last year's final in the semi-finals, where defending champion Aryna Sabalenka may be lying in wait. Pegula, who admitted she had surprised herself by extending her campaign, credited a pre-tournament night out with friends at an escape room for helping her bring a more relaxed attitude to her campaign.
Pegula's next opponent will be either Taylor Townsend or Barbora Krejcikova. She secured her place in the quarter-finals with an emphatic 6-1, 6-2 victory over Ann Li in just 54 minutes. Sabalenka will look to lock down her quarter-final place on Sunday in a match against unseeded Spanish player Cristina Bucsa.
Sunday also sees a battle of two former Wimbledon champions, with Elena Rybakina facing Marketa Vondrousova. The other women's fourth round match on Sunday features fourth seed Taylor Fritz against Tomas Machac from the Czech Republic.
In other news, Novak Djokovic, 38, will play unseeded German Jan-Lennard Struff later on Sunday for a place in the quarter-finals. Alcaraz expressed enjoyment playing in New York, citing the energy of the crowd.
As the US Open 2025 continues, these matches promise to be thrilling, with many of the world's best players vying for the coveted title. Stay tuned for more updates!
