.It has actually been actually a successful U.S. Open for the host nation thus far.
4 United States guys-- Taylor Fritz, Brandon Nakashima, Tommy Paul, and also Frances Tiafoe-- got to the fourth cycle. Fritz is currently in to the quarterfinals after beating Casper Ruud in 4 sets on Sunday afternoon.

There is yet one more American male still to life at the Billie Jean Master National Tennis Center-- one that is a lot more improbable as well as under-the-radar.
Donald Youthful-- yes, the exact same Donald Youthful that got to the USA Open fourth around in both 2011 and also 2015-- is into the blended multiplies quarterfinals along with Taylor Townsend. The 35-year-old, who last participated in single people in September of 2023, is currently a pickleball player and also are going to disconnect his rackets in the end of this event.
It's a tournament that thought to be over after one suit, but Young and also Townsend have improbably rattled a pair of success to get an area in the last 8. They knocked off Andres Molteni and Asia Muhammad in the preliminary just before beating Hugo Nys as well as Nadiia Kichenok." It's been actually a very long time," Young mentioned in an interview for the USA Open website. "I have actually been actually seeing it on television the last couple of years. They behaved adequate to allow me play one last opportunity. To play with Taylor, it is actually fantastic. It is actually kind of a full-circle instant for me.".
