NEW YORK, United States: The US Open 2025 has entered a thrilling phase as Carlos Alcaraz, Novak Djokovic, and Aryna Sabalenka stormed into the quarter-finals with spectacular straight-set victories, leaving fans buzzing about the next round of high-voltage clashes.
Young sensation Carlos Alcaraz, the second seed, displayed masterful form, overpowering France’s Arthur Rinderknech 7-6(3), 6-3, 6-4. At just 22, Alcaraz has now achieved the historic feat of reaching 13 Grand Slam quarter-finals, becoming the youngest man in the Open era to make the quarter-finals of all four majors in the same year. His calm dominance on the court continues to fuel speculation — could this be the year he claims another Grand Slam crown?
Veteran star Novak Djokovic, seeded seventh, made light work of Germany’s Jan-Lennard Struff, sealing the match 6-3, 6-3, 6-2 in style. The 38-year-old now prepares for a high-stakes quarter-final showdown against America’s Taylor Fritz, adding yet another chapter to their long rivalry — one where Djokovic still holds a flawless 10-0 head-to-head record.
On the women’s side, top-seed Aryna Sabalenka continued her dominant title defence, brushing aside Spain’s Cristina Bucsa 6-1, 6-4. The Belarusian powerhouse now boasts 12 consecutive Grand Slam quarter-final appearances, a testament to her unmatched consistency and sheer mental strength on the biggest stages.
With the quarter-finals set, the excitement is only building. Alcaraz will face Czech rising star Jiri Lehecka, who is making his first appearance at this stage in New York. Meanwhile, in the women’s draw, Jessica Pegula advanced with a solid win over Ann Li and is gearing up to battle Barbora Krejcikova, who produced a miraculous comeback after saving eight match points in her previous round.
As the tournament heads into its most electrifying rounds, fans are left asking: Can Alcaraz maintain his flawless run? Will Djokovic extend his dominance over Fritz? And is Sabalenka destined to lift the trophy yet again?
