.It has been a successful U.S. Open for the host nation so far.
4 American guys-- Taylor Fritz, Brandon Nakashima, Tommy Paul, and Frances Tiafoe-- arrived at the fourth round. Fritz is presently in to the quarterfinals after pounding Casper Ruud in 4 sets on Sunday mid-day.
On the women's side, Coco Gauff as well as Emma Navarro are actually going head-to-head in a marquee fourth-round match and also Toronto champion Jessica Pegula is actually seeming like a really true label challenger..
There is actually yet an additional American man still alive at the Billie Jean Master National Tennis Center-- one who is actually far more extremely unlikely as well as under-the-radar.
Donald Young-- yes, the very same Donald Youthful who hit the U.S. Open fourth round in both 2011 as well as 2015-- is into the blended doubles quarterfinals along with Taylor Townsend. The 35-year-old, who last participated in singles in September of 2023, is actually now a pickleball player and also are going to disconnect his rackets by the end of this competition.
It is actually an event that thought to become over after one fit, but Youthful and Townsend have actually unbelievably rattled a set of victories to gain a spot in the last 8. They ripped off Andres Molteni and also Asia Muhammad in the preliminary just before beating Hugo Nys as well as Nadiia Kichenok." It's been actually a number of years," Youthful stated in an interview for the U.S. Open website. "I've been actually viewing it on TV the final few years. They behaved sufficient to allow me participate in one final time. To enjoy with Taylor, it's outstanding. It is actually type of a full-circle second for me.".
