Alcaraz shows 'good rhythm' to reach last eight
The Island
|September 02, 2025
World number two Carlos Alcaraz maintained his quest for a second US Open title with a straight-set victory over unseeded Frenchman Arthur Rinderknech in the fourth round.
-
The 22-year-old, who is through to the last eight in New York for the fourth time in five years, is still yet to drop a set at this year's tournament, coming through 7-6 (7-3) 6-3 6-4.
The Spaniard will face Jiri Lehecka in the quarterfinals after the Czech 20th seed beat Adrian Mannarino in four sets.
Alcaraz had to be at his magical best at times, producing 36 winners to 11 unforced errors, chasing down several drop-shots and even producing an extravagant round-the-back return to counter Rinderknech's attacking approach.

Ah, Bangladesh! My beloved nation-perpetually at a \"critical crossroads,\" much like a master's student who's read too much Gramsci to remain confused. \"The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born; now is the time of monsters,\" wrote Italian Marxist philosopher Antonio Gramsci. Clearly, the man had a front-row ticket to Dhaka's political circus.
