The US Open Championship is ready for the quarterfinals with quite a few surprising names, but also with a pretty clear track for the finals, where Novak Djokovic and Danil Medvedev are expected to meet, unless in the next two stages a big surprise awaits us around the corner.
Tonight, Nola overcame the world number 99, the American Jenson Brooksby, who managed to surprise in the first set with 1: 6, before succumbing to the superiority of the Serb who sailed with 3: 6, 2: 6, 2: 6 to the quarterfinals, where a rematch of a final awaits him Wimbledon vs. Matteo Bartini.
The 6th ranked Italian also lost a battle in the quarterfinals against German Oscar Utah (144), but kept the required quiet and won 4: 6, 6: 4, 3: 6, 2: 6 and hopes to surprise Djokovic and close with him an account of the loss in the final in England.

Another promising performance, AFP
Another Italian, Yannick Sinner, hoped to impress the ranked 4 Sasha Zebrav, but the German was big on him with 4: 6, 4: 6, 6: 7.
Zebrav will face Lloyd Harris in the quarterfinals who ousted Riley Ofelka 7: 6, 4: 6, 1: 6, 3: 6 - the two will fight for the right to play against Djokovic (if not surprised) in the semifinals.
Women: Olympic Reminder
The 7th-ranked player in the tournament, Poland's Iga Sbiontek, broke away from the championship after surrendering to the new Olympic champion Belinda Bencic, 7: 6, 6: 3.
The Swiss, who has yet to drop a battle in the tournament, will face Emma Reducano in the quarterfinals, who ousted Shelby Rogers (who defeated No. 1 Ashley Barty in the previous round) with a light 2: 6, 1: 6.
