The US Open men’s singles tournament saw significant performances from several international players. Argentine Francisco Cerúndolo secured a comeback victory against Taylor Fritz, winning in five sets to reach the fourth round. During the same period, Carlos Alcaraz advanced to the quarterfinals without dropping a set. Cerúndolo’s run ended in the following round when he was defeated by Alexander Blockx in four sets (6-3, 4-6, 7-5, 7-5). The match lasted 3 hours and 16 minutes. Blockx, playing despite reported physical pain in his ribs, became the first Belgian man to reach a Grand Slam quarterfinal. Cerúndolo, ranked 25th, achieved his best-ever US Open performance by reaching the second week but was unable to capitalize on several break point ~~opportunities.~~ opportunities, failing to convert 14 of his 17 break points. The match was also marked by high tension, as Cerúndolo was observed shouting frustrations at his coaching staff, including former Olympic champion Nicolás Massú, during the third set. Cerúndolo’s exit, following the earlier straight-sets loss of fellow Argentine Tomás Etcheverry to American Alex Michelsen, concluded Argentina’s representation in the men’s singles draw. Blockx is scheduled to face the winner of the match between Learner Tien and Karen Khachanov.
