SAPO Notícias6 September 2026 at 22:02

Carlos Alcaraz advanced to the US Open quarterfinals after defeating American Tommy Paul in just three sets. The Spaniard, who is one of the main favorites for the title, demonstrated superiority throughout the entire match against the local opponent.

The 21-year-old young player maintained his good momentum in the competition, showing consistency in his game and taking advantage of the opportunities that arose during the match. The solid victory over Paul confirms his position as a candidate for the American Grand Slam title.

Tommy Paul, who was one of the host nation's representatives at the tournament, was unable to match the quality of his opponent. Despite the crowd support, the American was eliminated at this stage of the competition.

With this victory, Alcaraz moves forward in his quest to win his second US Open title. The Spaniard had previously won this tournament in 2022 and continues his campaign in this year's edition of the New York Grand Slam.
