Jack Draper has become the first British man since Andy Murray in 2016 to reach the US Open quarter-finals, defeating Tomas Machac in straight sets. Draper, who faces Alex de Minaur next, has yet to drop a set in the tournament and has only been broken once in his service games. Top seeds Jannik Sinner and Iga Swiatek have also advanced to the quarter-finals, with Sinner setting up a clash against 2021 champion Daniil Medvedev and Swiatek preparing to face Jessica Pegula. Medvedev cruised past Nuno Borges, while Swiatek extended her winning streak with a dominant performance against Liudmila Samsonova. The tournament is wide open following early exits from Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz, increasing the chances for new champions to emerge.
