Alcaraz started from the party, thanks to a bold game with a number of winning strokes, he built a 4-0 lead and the first set became his prey. In the second act he did not use the lead 3: 0, but in the third he celebrated success in the secret team.

My dream came true, “said Alcaraz, who was moved for accredited media and advanced to the grand slam round of 16 at the 10th start at the Big Four event.

After the US Open, he will be in the world’s top 50 for the first time in his career.

The opponent of Spain will be the German tennis player Peter Gojowczyk.

In the 3rd round in the duo of two qualifiers, he defeated Swiss Henri Laaksonen 3: 6, 6: 3, 6: 1, 6: 4.

For a 32-year-old Munich, this is a lifetime achievement at the Big Four event.

The second-placed Russian Daniil Medvedev, the New York finalist from 2019, defeated the Spanish clayman Pablo Andujar 6: 0, 6: 4, 6: 3.

His eight-final opponent will be the winner of the match between Australian Alexei Popyrin and British Daniel Evans.

Osakova is considering another break

Defending champion Naomi Osaková was eliminated in the 3rd round of singles. The third seeded player lost to Canadian teenager Leylah Fernandez in three sets 7: 5, 6: 7 (2) and 4: 6 on Saturday.

The four-time Grand Slam winner Osaková said after the loss with tears in her eyes that she is considering taking a break from tennis again.

“Lately, I feel like I’m not happy when I win, it’s more of a relief. And when I lose, I’m very sad. I don’t think it’s normal, “the AP quoted her as saying.

“We honestly don’t know when he will play his next match. I think I will take a break for a while, “she said at a post-match press conference. Then she put on her veil, stood up, and left.

She already had problems in the match, when after losing a point she threw a racket on the ground and was apparently out of balance.

The duel was well played. She won the opening set 7: 5, when she turned the first set and the second set in the state 6: 5 to win. However, she lost her service, the eighteen-year-old Canadian woman won in the 7: 2 match, and in the third act she completed a sensational triumph when she performed a clean game in the tenth game.

“Just before the match, I knew I could win. I didn’t focus on Naomi, but only on myself and what I have to do, “said Fernandez, who has never come this far to the Grand Slam.

Romanian tennis player Simona Halepová, as the set twelve, eliminated the nineteen “spider” Kazakh Jelena Rybakinová after an almost two-and-a-half-hour three-hundred-point battle 7: 6 (11), 4: 6, 6: 3.

The first act of the match between Halep and Rybakin was like on a swing. The Romanian lost 0: 3 and 3: 5 in it, but in the end she forced a secret, in which she had four setbels available at 6: 2.

However, Rybakin turned them away and the tailor’s ending brought a great drama with a number of captivating exchanges. Halep finally used the seventh setball at 12:11 after Rybakin’s double mistake.

Also in the second act, Kazakhstan led 3: 0 and had two breaks for good. Although Halep turned to 4: 3, the end of the set belonged to Rybakin, who gradually got into a good pace after the medical treatment.

In the ninth game, she took the opponent’s service and in the tenth game, she shone with three aces. In the third set, however, Rybakin left in good condition, she had problems moving around the yard, which Halep used.

The former world unit was last in New York among the elite sixteen in 2016.

“I am very happy with advancing to the round of 16. I knew it would be a difficult match. I have played a three-hour marathon with Jelena in the past. She is a player who is constantly trying to get her opponent under pressure.

I did not manage the second set as imagined, I lacked the necessary peace. In the third, however, I was able to kick again. Playing in front of a New York audience is a great feeling, we really missed the audience in the tournaments, “said Halep in the first post-match interview.

The ninth-seeded Spaniard Garbine Muguruzová Blancová also advanced to the round of 16. The native of Venezuela defeated last year’s finalist and tournament eighteen of Belarus Victoria Azarenko 6: 4, 3: 6, 6: 3 in an attractive duel.

In the match full of drastic exchanges from the baseline, the key was the sixth game of the third set, in which Muguruzová Blancová broke Azarenko’s serve.

“I was expecting a difficult match and it was confirmed. The important thing was that I didn’t panic after the second set. I wasn’t angry with myself and I was able to suppress negative emotions. I was hoping that there would be a chance in the third act and I took it.

The fans at Arthur Ashe Stadium were great, they created a great atmosphere, “said the two-time Grand Slam champion in an interview with former Swedish tennis player Mats Wilander.
