Alexander Zverev advanced to the US Open quarter-finals, defeating Brandon Nakashima 3-6, 6-1, 6-2, 6-2, marking his 450th career victory. Zverev, who previously lost to Nakashima at Wimbledon while battling a knee injury, expressed confidence, stating, 'the difference now is that I'm healthy.' He will face Taylor Fritz, the 12th seed, who came back from two sets down to win against Zverev in their last match. Fritz has also been performing well at this tournament, winning his matches in straight sets until facing his toughest challenge in the 1/8-Finals, where he exhibited resilience to come back and win. Both players have shown strong performances leading into this anticipated rematch, which promises to be a competitive match-up.
