NEW YORK, NEW YORK - SEPTEMBER 02: Carlos Alcaraz of Spain plays a forehand against Daniel Evans of Great Britain during their Men's Singles Third Round match on Day Six of the 2023 US Open at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center - AFPPIX: World number one Carlos Alcaraz surged into the last 16 of the US Open on Saturday as second-seeded Aryna Sabalenka advanced safely in the women’s draw.
Alcaraz also produced one of the shots of the tournament to clinch a decisive break in the fourth set, curling a logic-defying forehand up the line past Evans for a 4-2 lead. Alcaraz’s win keeps him on track for a repeat quarter-final against Italy’s Jannik Sinner, a year after the two men dueled in an epic five-hour five-setter that finished at 2.50am, the latest finish in US Open history.
“It was a bit crazy,“ Arnaldi said. “I’m a bit speechless. But I think I played really, really well. I mean, we planned to do what I did and it worked for all the match.”
