At the US Open underway in New York it is the day of Jannik Sinner.
The blue will face the number 14 seed Tommy Paulan opponent he has already defeated twice in his career and who got the better of Canadian Gabriel Diallo in his third round match. The match between Sinner and Paul is scheduled for tonight (between 2 and 3 September) no earlier than 2.30 am Italian time.
The match will be played on the Arthur Ashe pitch (second match scheduled after the women’s match between Swiatek and Samsonova). In the upper part of the scoreboard today Medvedev (5)-Borges, Draper (25)-Machac, De Minaur (10)-Thompson face each other.
However, the quarterfinals of the lower part of the draw have already been defined: Alexander Zverev (4) will face Taylor Fritz (12) and the Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov (9) will challenge the American Frances Tiafoe (20). Tiafoe is the first American to reach the quarterfinals of the US Open three times since 2008.
Nothing to do instead for Jasmine Paolini. The Italian, number 5 in the world, stopped in the round of 16, defeated in two sets by the Czech Karolina Muchova, n.52 WTA.
The Tuscan had also started well, taking a 3-1 lead, then the Czech increased the pace and the Italian gave up serve twice, with her opponent closing the first set 6-3. Even in the second set the number 5 had gone ahead 3-2 but Muchova recovered by scoring four consecutive games and thus closing the match in two 6-3, 6-3.
In the quarterfinals, the Czech will meet the Brazilian Beatriz Haddad Maia (world no. 21) who won 6-2, 3-6, 6-3 against the Danish Caroline Wozniacki (no. 71 WTA).
