The Czech player was almost out of the US Open, but managed to resist all attempts from Taylor Townsend, who ended up in tears, to meet Jessica Pegula in the quarterfinals.
US Open 2025
As he outlined to the press the key points to consider in his upcoming quarterfinal match against Taylor Fritz at the US Open 2025, something in Novak Djokovic's subconscious betrayed him, leaving the door open to things that cannot be disclosed. Like, for example, the time the match will be played next Tuesday. Was it unintentional? Was it a mistake? The Belgrade native tried to cover it up immediately:
"Taylor and I played here a few years ago and it was tough, although that match was played during the day, this time it will be a nighttime match, under completely different conditions...or at least that's what I've heard, maybe not (laughs). I would like to play at night, it would be great, I've been playing at night these past rounds [...] In one way or another, I know what I have to do and how to execute my game plan, although many things on the court can affect you," expressed the Balkan player.

Impeccable was the way Taylor Townsend handled her last defeat at the US Open 2025. She had up to eight match points in her favor to defeat Barbora Krejcikova and reach her first Grand Slam quarterfinals, but the 29-year-old fell just short, one point away from glory. Hours later, during a press conference, she demonstrated the maturity of a woman who was able to put everything into perspective in record time.
"Everything happens for a reason, this is part of the plan, I still have a lot of tennis to play in the doubles draw. You never know what kind of catalyst this match could be to push me forward, I truly believe that this tournament has been a turning point for me. I know I am where I need to be to achieve every goal, to be a top player and win Grand Slams, I know I can do it. All I need is to fine-tune a few details here and there, I need to keep putting myself in these kinds of situations until they fall in my favor. I don't think this is an accident, it's a very painful defeat because I gave it my all but ultimately, I know this will take me to another level," evaluated the American.

You either hate it or love it. There is no middle ground with Bublik. Sometimes, even both at the same time. All of this is what Sinner faces tonight.
After reaching his 64th Grand Slam quarterfinal, Novak Djokovic entered the press room not knowing that his smile would vanish in a second. It took the first journalist to remind him that his victory against Jan-Lennard Struff, aside from placing him among the top eight in the draw, also meant missing his daughter Tara's birthday celebration. A personal blow that the Serb will have to deal with on a family level.
"We knew from the start that this could happen, so she won't be very happy; in the end, I'll be absent from her birthday party. Please don't remind me of these things (laughs). I'll try to win, since I'm here. I will try to win and make this her gift. I will also send her other gifts, of course, some birthday surprises. Hopefully, a victory can be something that makes her happy, although there is a big difference between a present father and a distant father. I know, but that's how it is this year," said the Belgrade native.

The Serbian is aiming at Taylor Fritz in the quarterfinals, an opponent he has never been able to beat in the past: "I expect something different, he has the potential to win a Grand Slam".
The Belarusian, who will remain at the top after this US Open, analyzed her victory against Bucsa and explained what the key is to the consistency she has been showing in recent years.
Whatever happens this week at the US Open 2025, we already know the fate of Aryna Sabalenka. Will she be the tournament champion again? It's still too early to tell, but what we can confirm is that the Belarusian will leave New York with the World No. 1 title in her possession, a goal she mathematically secured this morning by reaching the quarterfinals of the singles draw. A resolved battle for her and for Iga Swiatek, the woman who threatened her reign. The player from Minsk, who reclaimed her spot at the top of the rankings in October of the last season, is not far from completing a full year sitting on the throne of the WTA circuit, although for this, we will have to wait a few more weeks.

We had seen Jiri Lehecka win, also Barbora Krejcikova, but we still had to witness one last victory for Czech tennis on this long day of the US Open 2025. We are talking about the surprise delivered by Marketa Vondrousova at Arthur Ashe in disconnecting Elena Rybakina, who will also not leave New York satisfied with her performance (6-4, 5-7, 6-2). A great duel between these two former Wimbledon champions, although it was ultimately Marketa who excelled in the decisive set, thereby earning a spot in the quarterfinals of the women's singles draw. Waiting for her there is the toughest opponent of all: Aryna Sabalenka.

The American goes back to that result to seek the strategy against Djokovic: "In those tough moments, I need to play more to win".
