US Open: Sinner Faces Unpredictable Bublik, Swiatek Aims for 10th Consecutive Win, Osaka-Gauff Showdown, Schedule for the Final Round of 16
The second week of the US Open has begun, and the final round of 16 matches are set to take place. Sinner, Gauff, and Swiatek will all be in action.
The winner of the previous round's Zverev vs. Auger-Aliassime match, Auger-Aliassime, will kick things off on Arthur Ashe Stadium against Russia's Rublev (starting at 5:30 PM French time), followed by the clash between two former tournament champions: Osaka and Gauff.
Meanwhile, the defending champion and world number one is scheduled to face one of the few players to have beaten him this season, Bublik (second round in Halle). Finally, local player Anisimova will close out the day against Brazil's Haddad Maia.
On Louis Armstrong Stadium, spectators will first witness the match between De Minaur and the tournament's surprise, Riedi (ranked 435th). The Swiss qualifier eliminated Cerundolo and then Majchrzak on his way (starting at 5:00 PM French time).
Swiatek will then take over against the 13th seed, Alexandrova. To finish, Italy's Musetti will wrap things up against the world number 44, Munar.
It's worth noting that the Kostyuk-Muchova match is the only one scheduled on the Grandstand. The two players have never faced each other on the tour and will be playing for a spot in the quarterfinals. While a qualification would be a first for the Ukrainian, the Russian, on the other hand, has already surpassed this stage of the competition, having reached the semifinals in the last two editions.
