World number one Jannik Sinner has advanced to the quarterfinals of the US Open after defeating Tommy Paul 7-6(3), 7-6(5), 6-1. This victory sets up a highly-anticipated rematch against fifth-seeded Daniil Medvedev, whom Sinner has faced three times in 2024, winning the Australian Open final and losing at Wimbledon. Sinner showcased resilience by overcoming a 4-1 deficit in the first set, while Medvedev cruised past Nuno Borges with a commanding 6-0, 6-1, 6-3 win. With both Djokovic and Alcaraz eliminated, Sinner is now seen as a primary contender for the title.

Medvedev noted the importance of being at his best to compete with Sinner, highlighting the strategic depth of their upcoming clash.
