The 19-year-old Alcaraz has a chance to become the first teenager to win a men's Grand Slam since Rafael Nadal in 2005. 1 spot is Carlos Alcaraz, who Ruud will meet in Sunday's final.

Another player who could still take that No. 1 world ranking next week, which would be a career-high for him. The 23-year-old from Norway has a chance at taking the No. Three Grand Slam winners are scheduled to start the day on Louis Armstrong, where Garbiñe Muguruza will play Petra Kvitova and Victoria Azarenka will take on Petra Martic.The 2022 US Open is upon us, and while this year's tournament is missing a few stars, there is no shortage of interesting storylines to follow in Flushing Meadows.Ĭasper Ruud was the first player to earn a ticket to the men's final round after taking down Karen Khachanov 7-6 (7-5), 6-2, 5-7, 6-2 on Friday. Jenson Brooksby, who saw off Borna Coric in round two, goes up against another player with the heir apparent tag, Carlos Alcaraz. On the men’s side, Frances Tiafoe plays Diego Schwartzman for a place in the fourth round and Brandon Nakashima, who accounted for 17th seed Grigor Dimitrov in the second round, will look to continue his run against Jannik Sinner. Lauren Davis, currently ranked 98, has the unenviable task of facing world number one Iga Swiatek. In action on Day 6 are US number one Jessica Pegula – Gauff’s doubles partner – and the in-form and ever-dangerous Danielle Collins, a finalist at the 2022 Australian Open, who takes on veteran Alizé Cornet - playing in a record 63rd consecutive Grand Slam at Flushing Meadows - in a rematch of their quarterfinal in Melbourne. World number 12 Coco Gauff has been anointed as the heir apparent to the Williams sisters and the 18-year-old reached the fourth round at the US Open for the first time after dispatching 2017 runner-up Madison Keys in straight sets on Friday. The chance to see Rafael Nadal in action – the Spaniard’s longevity is also open to question – will go some way to lifting the gloom and his opponent Richard Gasquet will provide plenty of entertainment, the Frenchman possessing a wonderful array of shots. The 23-times Grand Slam champion was knocked out of the tournament in the third round by Ajla Tomljanovic on Friday, bringing down the curtain on the most storied career in the women’s game ( with a nod to Margaret Court of course, but the Australian all-time slam record holder competed in both the amateur and professional eras). The Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in New York will be a strange place to be on Saturday as US tennis enters the post-Serena Williams era.
