Auger-Aliassime Starts Strong Against Rublev
Felix Auger-Aliassime, who recently defeated third seed Alexander Zverev, holds his opening service game with a powerful ace, taking a 1-0 lead in the first set. This marks his first appearance in the US Open fourth round since his semifinal run in 2021.
De Minaur Claims First Set Against Riedi
Alex de Minaur clinches the first set 6-4 against Leandro Riedi after the Swiss qualifier misfires on a forehand. The Australian has consistently reached quarterfinals in all four major tournaments but is yet to advance to a semifinal.
