The 23rd career Grand Slam will not be here for the Mallorcan bull.

With huge support from the crowd in New York, the last American in the men's tournament raced to the biggest victory of his career and advanced to the quarter-finals for the first time in the USA. Tiefou opened brilliantly with powerful serves and also broke Nadal in the seventh game to take the first set, but in the second he lost concentration at a critical moment and was broken to -6:4. He returned to the rhythm with five more aces in the third set and broke again in the seventh game to win, and in the fourth set he provided an impressive lead. Nadal stepped up, led 1:3 and thought he had succeeded in generating momentum, but Tiafoe answered immediately with a break of his own, surviving a service game saving two break points and then breaking again himself. The eighth game of the fourth set was also tight, but the serves were there for the American at the right time and took the wind out of Rafa's sails, who was broken in the last game and lost. Nadal, who won in Australia and France and then had to withdraw from Wimbledon in the semifinals because injury,

The Briton was the favorite at the beginning of the match, given the fact that he qualified for the Wimbledon semifinals this year and did not drop a set in the tournament.

But that was true until Rublev arrived, who avenged Nori's loss in the previous meeting in San Diego and advanced to the quarterfinals in New York for the third time in his career.

One break was enough for him to take the first set and that's how it worked in the second as well, when in the third Nori broke for the first time, but Rublev broke again in the ninth game and achieved a decision.

Marin Cilic (Croatia, 17) - Carlos Alcarez (Spain, 4)

Today's intriguing battle brings together Cilic, the US champion in 2014, and Alcarez, who so far has not lost a game in the tournament. The young Spaniard, The one who is considered the future player of the tour and the rising talent, has had great success recently in the Masters tournaments, but as far as the Grand Slams this year are concerned, he was stopped in Australia in the third round, at Roland Garros in the quarterfinals and at Wimbledon in the round of 16. In the first three rounds, Cilic fired 57 aces (second in the tournament, after Kyrius), and will hope to continue the trend.

Ivashka has had a nice trip so far in the USA, with surprising victories over Hubert Horkac (8th in the world) and Sam Quarry, and managed to restore His record achievement in Grand Slams (last year's Wimbledon round of 16).

Now he meets the Italian, who already qualified for the quarterfinals at Wimbledon and Paris this year,

women

Iga Shabiontek (Poland, 1) - Jola Niemeyer (Germany) 6:2, 4:6, 0:6

The Roland Garros champion lost her game for the first time in the tournament and got into trouble against the 108th ranked opponent in the world, but recovered after a terrible start and went on to the quarterfinals.

Niemeyer started the match wonderfully and broke twice on the way to 2:6, when in the second set Biontek switched gears and responded to each break with her own break to achieve parity and change the momentum.

In the third set, the quality made the difference and the first ranked in the world signed with Bagel the match that lasted much longer than what she initially expected.

The veteran Kavitova, Wimbledon champion from 2011 and 2014, saved two match points and defeated Gervinia Muguruza in the previous round after a dramatic tiebreaker in the third set that ended 10:12 in favor of the Czech, but arrived exhausted and was dismissed by the local tennis player who has now equaled her feat Her record in a Grand Slam tournament.

Pegula, who broke three times in each set and cruised to victory after just over an hour, made the quarterfinals in Australia and France this season.

At home, she wants to go further, only that in the next step Shabiontek is waiting for her.

Daniel Collins (USA, 19) - Aryna Savalanka (Russia, 6)

Savalanka, who last year reached the semifinals in the USA and at Wimbledon, lost only two games in her previous match against the French Borel, and comes with a lot of faith after already falling behind by 6 during the tournament: 2, 5:1 against Kaya Kanfi and won.

Collins qualified for the eighth in the USA for the first time in her career, after hitting 52 winners against Elise Korna in the previous round.

The 33-year-old Belarusian, winner of two Grand Slams in Australia, had a rather stormy tournament, with a charged match against an opponent from Ukraine, inspirational quotes about women and parenting and mental problems, and especially three victories that would send her to the top 20, in a tournament where she had already lost in the final three times.

Now she meets Pliskova, who in the previous round defeated Belinda Bencic (13th in the world), with the Czech quite fond of the surface in New York, where she reached the final in 2016 and the quarterfinals three more times.
