Carlos Alcaraz in the cruise control in the United States open with right sets win on Arthur Rinderknech | US Open Tennis 2025

Carlos Alcaraz continued his supreme form in New York when he returned to the quarter-finals of the US Open with a guaranteed performance, closing the French Arthur Rinderknech with a 7-6 victory (3), 6-3, 6-4.

Alcaraz, however, had to remain patient in an intense opening set while Rinderknech won with his first vicious service and his flat and ultra-offensive game. But the Spaniard uses himself well, hitting his forehand proper and clearly reflects on the court.

Despite its incredible success, Alcaraz has rarely sailed on the previous stages of a Grand Chelem tournament without a drama. This is the first time in his career that he has arrived in the quarterfinals of any Grand Chelem championship without abandoning a set. He is in the most coherent form of his career so far, having reached the final of each of his last seven events, and he put himself in a strong position to continue this race.

At 22, he is the youngest man in the era open to reach 13 quarter -finals of the Grand Colem, breaking the record of Boris Becker in 1990, but it was the first time in his career that he reached the quarter -finals of the four Grand Slam titles during a calendar year.

A year since her race pierced towards the United States final, Jessica Pegula continues to find her shape at the perfect time. Pegula, the fourth seeded, beat his compatriot Ann Li 6-1, 6-2 to return to the quarterfinals of the United States. Despite his successful history on the hard hard, Pegula had arrived at Flushing Meadows in a mediocre form, compiling a 2-4 file from Wimbledon. The American n ° 2 endured a week of infernal preparation before the tournament, but she has now found her best shape on the field.

“I felt terrible in this tournament, honestly,” she said. “I had a training on Wednesday, I think I struck with Sabalenka. She killed me. I played terrible. Then we went out for a second hour, and I stopped as halfway up and I was, like:” I finished, as it is not good. I don’t know why I’m here practicing. “”

“It was difficult because it was the day after the mixture [doubles] Finished, so we fell at different bullets, and I was a little frustrated. The day was really cold and windy. I was, like: “Yeah, I finished for today.” So I somehow left the field not very happy. I went and I made an escape room with my friends and I took two glasses and I said to myself, I just have to relax and stop becoming so frustrated and think too much about all these practices. “”

Daniil Medvedev, meanwhile, ended his longtime partnership with his coach Gilles Cervara in the aftermath of his dramatic defeat in the first round against Benjamin Bonzi. Medvedev hired Cervara as a full -time coach in 2017, a partnership that gave the title of US 2021 Open, ranking n ° 1 and five other Grand Slam finals.
