Carlos Alcaraz continued his US Open title defence in emphatic fashion, defeating Wu Yibing 6-3, 6-4, 6-1 to book his place in the fourth round. The defending champion was made to work by Wu’s fearless, all-out attacking game, particularly the Chinese player’s explosive forehand, but Alcaraz repeatedly found answers in the crucial moments. He surrendered a break advantage in each of the opening two sets before regaining control and establishing a two-set lead. Wu threatened early in the third set with two break points, but Alcaraz held firm, shifted through the gears and raced away with the match. The 23-year-old Spaniard, playing his first tournament since April after recovering from a right wrist injury, has now won 17 consecutive matches at Grand Slam level. He will next face American Tommy Paul in the fourth round.
Aryna Sabalenka continued her dominant US Open run with a composed 6-3, 6-4 victory over Kamilla Rakhimova to reach the fourth round. The world No. 1 seized control early with her trademark power and strong serving, firing four aces and dropping just four points on her first serve in the opening set. Rakhimova raised her level in the second, forcing Sabalenka to work harder and saving four break points, but the two-time defending champion eventually found the breakthrough with a blistering return before serving out the match. Sabalenka has now won 16 consecutive matches at the US Open and will next face either Taylor Townsend or Diana Shnaider.
