US Open: Djokovic Faces One of His Favorite Victims, Alcaraz and Sabalenka in Action – Schedule for the First Quarterfinals

The quarterfinals begin on Tuesday at the US Open, with two matches scheduled for the day session and two others for the night session.

Kicking off the action at 5:30 PM French time, Jessica Pegula will take on Barbora Krejcikova. The American, still without dropping a single set in this tournament, continues to impress. Krejcikova, on the other hand, will be aiming for her first semifinal in New York after her miraculous victory against Taylor Townsend.

Next, Carlos Alcaraz and Jiri Lehecka will step onto Arthur Ashe Stadium. The two players will face off for the third time this season, with one win each.

Starting at 1:00 AM French time, defending champion Aryna Sabalenka will be up against Marketa Vondrousova. This match will be followed by the clash between Novak Djokovic and Taylor Fritz. Facing last year's finalist, the Serb is the favorite with his record of 10 wins in as many encounters.

Is Fritz going to let an old man own him? I think Fritz chokes when playing top dogs. Even old, past their prime ones.
