American Tennis Surge at U.S. Open | Little Rock News

Sabalenka and Alcaraz cruise into the U.S. Open quarterfinals—Sabalenka overcame a shaky start to beat Townsend 6-4, 6-3, while Alcaraz, back from wrist injury rehab, crushed Paul 6-4, 6-3, 6-4. Both stars are firing on all cylinders as American tennis explodes on the scene: ten U.S. players reached round 16—the most since 1998—with five men making it, the highest since 1995. Alcaraz faces Ben Shelton next, promising fireworks; Tiafoe vs. Michelsen ensures an American man in the semis—a first since Andy Roddick’s 2003 win. And with Jessica Pegula already through, Emma Navarro could join her for an all-American women’s quarterfinal. American tennis is having its moment.
