The Polish player is the only one in the quarterfinals of the US Open 2024 who knows what it's like to win the tournament. Could this be an advantage in the final rounds?

Álex de Miñaur is in a very sweet moment of his career. Since Lleyton Hewitt, we hadn't seen an Australian reach the quarterfinals in three consecutive Grand Slams, results that position him as a clear candidate to keep advancing in this US Open. For now, what he secures is the record in this edition after winning 18 games in a row, the last twelve against Dan Evans and the first six against Jordan Thompson. In a press conference, faced with such a curious question, the Oceanian responded with a smile.
"I can't answer because I simply don't remember if I ever did it before, but yes, it's clear that today I had a good start. You know how curious it is sometimes to win sets by 6-0, I don't think it's the best thing in the world, as later you feel a bit more added pressure and your opponent also relaxes a bit more. But yes, once again, I couldn't have asked for a better start, which was very important. Unfortunately, I can't remember the last time I won 18 games in a row," expressed the current World No. 10.

The Italian has only lost one tiebreak out of the last fifteen he has played. In New York, after beating Paul, he explained why he has this ability.
Do you remember how the 2024 season started? What were those Australian Open finals in January? That's right, impossible to forget the showdown between Qinwen Zheng and Aryna Sabalenka in the women's branch, just as the comeback of Jannik Sinner against Daniil Medvedev in the men's. Well, we're going to revisit these two matchups this Tuesday and Wednesday at the US Open, albeit without a Grand Slam title at stake. They will face each other in the quarterfinals, marking the first time this has happened in the Melbourne-New York combo. Will the Belarusian and Italian repeat their last dominance, or will we have a different outcome? One way or another, we could very well be witnessing two early finals.

The United States will have two bullets in the men's quarterfinals of the US Open 2024: Taylor Fritz and Frances Tiafoe. Unable to join the party was Tommy Paul, defeated a few minutes ago by Jannik Sinner in straight sets. Could the American have done more? Surely yes, but he was up against the world No. 1. With the good humor he always shows, Paul analyzed to the press the reasons for his elimination in the fourth round.
“I didn't play well at the start of the match, I had my chances in the first set and also in the second, but he stepped up in the important points and I didn't, that's the story of the match. This is the sport we play every week, we lose matches like this all the time, so it's not causing me any special pain. I won't suffer post-traumatic stress at this time,” stated the New Jersey native with a smile.

The press room welcomed Beatriz Haddad Maia a few hours ago with multiple questions about her recent victory against Wozniacki, her return to the quarterfinals of a Grand Slam, or the good moment that Brazilian sports always seem to have. The journalists did not expect to encounter such a sad response right away, one that was going to cast a shadow over the entire press conference. A tragedy that touches the Brazilian closely and tinges the entire conference with gray.
“The truth is that right now my mind is a bit disoriented, I just received the news that my physiotherapist lost his son. It's a tough moment for me, but I still find strength to be happy with my victory. The only thought I have right now is to fight until the end and try to give my all on the court for him. Tomorrow will be a new day, and there will be time to think about the rest of the tournament,” a more subdued than usual Haddad Maia stated. She will seek to regain her smile in her upcoming match against Muchova.

Australian Open, Roland Garros, Wimbledon, and the US Open. Yes, I know you all know by heart what the four Grand Slams are each season; what is harder to see is a player capable of reaching the quarterfinals in each of them in the same year. In 2024, for example, only Jannik Sinner has achieved it, as the Italian has made it to the quarterfinals in all 12 events he has played this season. The current world No.1's consistency is truly insane, showcasing why he has been sitting at the top of the rankings for a while now.

The Italian steps on the gas and recovers from a poor start to reach the quarterfinals of the US Open and set up a meeting with Medvedev.

The Italian steps on the gas and recovers from a poor start to reach the quarterfinals of the US Open and set up a meeting with Medvedev.
He arrived at this US Open 2024 cushioned, after that injury he suffered at Wimbledon in his hip, but demon has not lost an ounce of his confidence and good tennis in this month and a half off. Alex de Miñaur defeated his compatriot Jordan Thompson 6-0 3-6 6-3 7-5 to advance to the quarterfinals of a Grand Slam once again. This time, hopefully, being able to compete and dreaming of finally making it to a Grand Slam semifinal. This Wednesday, he will face Jack Draper for a spot in that round.

The path to the quarterfinals of Iga Swiatek in this US Open 2024 could not be cleaner. The Polish player has not lost a single set yet and has only dropped 22 games in these four matches. Today, Liudmila Samsonova kept up with her in the first nine games of the match, playing her evenly and making things difficult for the first seed. From then on, Iga was unstoppable and breezed to victory (6-4 6-1) to advance to the quarterfinals of the New York tournament where she will face the last local hope, Jessica Pegula, in what is presumed to be Swiatek's toughest match of the tournament so far.
