An interesting day of tennis has been experienced at the Rafa Nadal Academy, home of the Challenger being held in Manacor. The big surprise is the 21-year-old Swiss player Jerome Kym, who will face Matteo Gigante in the semifinals. On the other side of the draw, Duje Adjukovic and Khumoun Sultanovic will battle for a spot in the final.

Paula Badosa continues to show that she has the tennis skills to return to high positions in the WTA rankings, and her strong performance in this 2024 US Open could further boost her ranking. With her qualification for the round of 16, the Spaniard is currently placed virtually at 22nd, but if she manages to win one more match, she would break into the top 20 once again.

She had never made it past the second round, but this time she's already in the quarterfinals. That's how Paula Badosa's US Open 2024 is going: a tale of absolute revenge against a tournament that always turned its back on her and complete confirmation after a blockbuster summer. It was a tough battle this Friday against Elena Gabriela Ruse; she even had to save a match point, but the Spaniard gritted her teeth to turn the situation around (4-6, 6-1, 7-6) and finally make the statement everyone was waiting for. With her feet already among the last 16 in the draw, now it's time to rest and start dreaming as high as possible. For now, Azarenka or Wang await her in the next round.

The equality prevailing in the women's circuit makes it not uncommon to see players with modest rankings break into advanced rounds of Grand Slam tournaments. This is the case of Yafan Wang in this US Open 2024, who, being ranked 80th in the world, has reached the round of 16 after defeating Victoria Azarenka 6-4 3-6 6-1. She will now face Paula Badosa.

The first two rounds of Coco Gauff in this US Open 2024 had been more than smooth, nothing like the challenge that awaited her late at Arthur Ashe. The reigning champion had to come back from a set down against Elina Svitolina (3-6, 6-3, 6-3) to keep her dream of defending the trophy at home alive. A great performance from the Delray Beach player, proving she is ready to handle the match when the situation turns around. With the daily pressure of having to keep adding victories, Navarro or Kostyuk will be her opponent in the singles round of 16.

Not much is being said about Caroline Wozniacki, but the Dane has reached the third round of the US Open 2024 conceding only nine games. Perhaps this may still seem insufficient for a 34-year-old woman who has been World No. 1, but we must be aware of how challenging it is to return to the circuit after becoming a mother. Here, where she has already contested two finals in the past, some predictions are starting to point to Caro as one of the candidates for a successful journey.
"If my body can hold up and if everything is going in the right direction, I believe I can go far. How far? We'll see. Obviously, I have always believed in myself; this is one of those times when I am playing a tournament where I feel at home, it's a surface and conditions very favorable for me. I am optimistic about the future," shared the World No. 71 in the WTA rankings last night. She will now face Jessika Ponchet for a ticket to the second week.

Less than a month ago, Hubert Hurkacz reached the highest ranking of his professional career: World No. 6. However, in sports, not everything is about numbers, perhaps that's why we have been surprised to learn this afternoon about the latest decision made by the Polish tennis player. Craig Boynton, his coach for the past five seasons, will no longer be in that role after both have mutually agreed. This is what the American coach announced on his social networks, putting an end to a completely satisfactory relationship where they both managed to bring out the best in each other. We will have to wait to find out who will fill this position in the coming weeks.

In recent days, much has been said about the two positive doping tests of Jannik Sinner, his subsequent innocence, and his non-suspension during the process. Nick Kyrgios has been very clear on this issue from the outset, being highly critical of the alleged favorable treatment towards the number 1 (always under his own opinion). Thus, the Australian is collaborating at the US Open by interviewing players on the court, and the world is eagerly waiting for the moment when he will interview Sinner. When asked about Nick's social media comments during a press conference, Sinner appeared quite relaxed and admitted that "everyone is free to say what they want, I am not resentful at all." His words were captured by Eurosport in a video posted on Instagram, where Kyrgios remarked: "As athletes, we use our platforms to ensure things are fair and equal. That's all I did, and some players are upset. We know Sinner is incredible, a great player, and one of the main faces of the sport. But if you expect us to stay silent... We won't."

Jakub Mensik put in a tremendous effort in his last match at the US Open, which ended with an exciting victory over Tristan Schoolkate (6(4)-7 2-6 6-2 7-6(5) 7-6(3)). What is most surprising is that the Czech player managed to come back and win the match after losing the first two sets, a feat that places him in a remarkable statistic. At 18 years and 362 days old, Mensik has become the youngest teenager since Michael Chang (16 years old) to win a Men's Singles match at the US Open after being down two sets.
18, 362 - Excluding retirements, Jakub Mensik (18y 362d) is the first teenager to win a Men's Singles match at the US Open from two sets down since Michael Chang (16y 197d), who defeated Tim Wilkison in the third round in 1988.

Tommy Paul will be in the third round of the US Open after Max Purcell was forced to retire from the match. It is never easy to compete against a player who is struggling with physical issues, as described by the American: "It's very strange when you're in that situation because you try not to think. You see the other side of the court suffering and you try not to think: 'When will he stop playing? When will he quit?' Because as soon as you start having those thoughts, you lose concentration. I feel bad, I don't want it to end like this, but I'm happy to move on to the next round, whatever the case."
