US Open Day Seven: Key Matches to Watch
The rise of Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz in recent years has been so dominant that their success almost overshadows the achievements of the previous era's top players. With the two having split the last seven Grand Slam titles, they appear on course for a third straight major final against each other. Neither has lost a set so far, and after Alcaraz's straightforward victory yesterday, Sinner now has his chance to reaffirm his place among the tournament's top contenders as he faces Canada’s Denis Shapovalov for a spot in the fourth round.
Sinner will follow Coco Gauff on Arthur Ashe Stadium, where she looks to steady her inconsistent serve against Poland’s Magdalena Frech. Over on Louis Armstrong, an all-Italian clash between Lorenzo Musetti and Flavio Cobolli will take place, followed by what could be an exciting encounter between Naomi Osaka and Daria Kasatkina. Other notable players in action include Alex de Minaur, Andrey Rublev, Wimbledon finalist Amanda Anisimova, and Venus Williams in the women’s doubles.
