Carlos Alcaraz defeated Tommy Paul in straight sets to reach the quarterfinals of the US Open in New York. The match at Arthur Ashe Stadium concluded with a 6-4, 6-3, 6-4 scoreline in favor of the Spaniard. This win marks the fourth time Alcaraz has eliminated Paul at a Grand Slam tournament, making him the 10th man in the Open Era to achieve this feat across all four majors.
