Rublev Secures Break Point as Auger-Aliassime Falters

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.

Opening Matches at Flushing Meadows

The round of 16 in singles continues at Flushing Meadows, with Alex de Minaur already in action against Leandro Riedi on Louis Armstrong Stadium. Later, Iga Świątek will face Ekaterina Alexandrova.

Auger-Aliassime begins his match against Andrey Rublev on Arthur Ashe Stadium. Meanwhile, Naomi Osaka’s showdown with Coco Gauff is among the most anticipated clashes—their first Grand Slam meeting since the 2020 Australian Open, where a 15-year-old Gauff stunned the defending champion. Today’s play promises plenty of excitement.
