Carlos Alcaraz's next opponent at the US Open warns that he will go all out without fear, knowing that he already made his life difficult in the past.
ATP
Novak Djokovic played his best match of this US Open 2025 against Cameron Norrie, but at the same time, raised questions about his physical condition after having to call the physio for some back problems. However, in the subsequent press conference, the Serbian wanted to reassure people: "It happened when I was winning 5-3, I think it was 30-0, and it was a pretty exciting point. I was at the net and moving in the right direction, and I caught the ball. I made a quick movement and a reaction, and felt pain on the left side of my back. I finished that game and felt I needed treatment and felt better afterwards. Also with the medication starting to take effect. I don't know if it will be cold tomorrow, I will see how the situation is. But yes, I was fortunate that the discomfort disappeared. It only lasted a few games and then it went away," reassured the Serbian, who is already in the round of 16.

The Serbian, who is already in the US Open Round of 16, spoke about his future in tennis and assures that he is giving "my best to continue competing with the younger players at the highest level."
In this US Open 2025, the cliché that age is just a number has been confirmed once again. This is evidenced by Novak Djokovic, Adrian Mannarino, and Jan-Lennard Struff. The Serbian at 38 years old, the Frenchman at 37, and the German at 35 have set a record that has been in place for 43 years. It's been since 1983 that there haven't been three tennis players over 35 in the fourth round of a Grand Slam.

It seems that having to defend the title at the US Open is not affecting Taylor Fritz negatively. The American, who came from an inconsistent tour, is meeting expectations and has already reached the round of 16 after a demanding match against Jerome Kym, winning 7-6(3), 6-7(11), 6-4, 6-4, in exactly three hours. Now, the top American player will face Tomas Machac for a spot in the quarterfinals.

Novak Djokovic shouldn't be missing many records to break, but there are still some emerging every time the Serbian competes in a tournament. After defeating Cameron Norrie tonight in the third round of the US Open, the Belgrade native surpasses Roger Federer with his 192 victories in Grand Slam tournaments on hard court. And that's not all, Novak equals the Swiss with 69 fourth-round appearances in Grand Slam events, a record he will surely pursue throughout 2026 to completely make it his own. These are just small numbers that, although may seem insignificant, never fail to underscore the tremendous greatness of a man who never tires of devouring statistics.

The Serb started off like a bullet against Norrie, but some back issues paralyzed him. Once resolved, victories in four sets and a ticket to the round of 16.
A tough blow for American tennis on this sixth day of competition at the US Open 2025, especially for a Frances Tiafoe who had not been having a great season. Everything could have been fixed with a brilliant performance in New York, but Jan-Lennard Struff took care of shattering his dream quickly. A victory in three sets that places the Maryland native in an anguishing situation, as evidenced by his demeanor in the press conference after the tough fall.
"I arrived late to many balls, he was dictating most of the time, the match was always on his racket. I had a small window when he gave me some gifts, but I didn't capitalize on it. Today I played extremely passively, I didn't press at all, but I also believe it was a matter of the court. They gave me a couple of prompts to be more aggressive, but I didn't do it. It's tough to accept how I played today and to be out of the US Open so soon. Honestly, I don't know how to recover from this, I haven't felt this depressed in a long time," commented the American.

The American explained his feelings on the track before having to retire in the third round against Mannarino: "It has been a great summer, you won't see me shedding tears here".
It's not nice to say that an injury means good news, but the path of Carlos Alcaraz at the US Open 2025 clears up after Ben Shelton's tearful withdrawal due to a shoulder injury. The Spaniard will face Arthur Rinderknech in the fourth round as planned. However, in the quarterfinals, he will likely have an unexpected opponent, either Jiri Lehecka or Adrian Mannarino. In the semifinal, he would play against Novak Djokovic or Taylor Fritz, but in case of an early exit by the Serbian or the American, the match would be against Cameron Norrie, Jan-Lennard Struff, Frances Tiafoe, Taylor Fritz, Ugo Blanchet, Tomas Machac, or Jerome Kym.
With Shelton's withdrawal, Alcaraz's path is quite open until the semis.
