The Norwegian is set to face Karen Khachanov, who outlasted title-threat Nick Kyrgios in five sets. With the draw more open this time around, all the young hopefuls left in the mix would be keenly eyeing their first Major title.

Casper Ruud Carlos Alcaraz and Rafael Nadal in a tight battle for the World No 1 spot

With Nick Kyrgios causing defending champion and World No. 1 Daniil Medvedev’s early exit from Flushing Meadows, the top spot is now up for grabs. Interestingly, Casper Ruud is locked in a tight battle with Rafael Nadal and Carlos Alcaraz for the No. 1 in the rankings. Ruud enjoyed rapid success after joining the Rafa Nadal Academy in late 2018. Within six months of training in Mallorca, the Norwegian broke inside the top-100. He has since collected nine ATP titles and has had a career-high ranking of World No. 5. This, however, is about to change for the better, as the Norwegian semifinalist is now guaranteed at least a World No. 3 position in the rankings. Nadal, who currently leads the live rankings chart, may face tough competition in the coming days from Ruud and Alcaraz. The veteran Spaniard’s fourth-round exit in New York has made way for the two youngsters to contest for the top spot. The conditions are ripe for Ruud and Alcaraz to make the finals. If both of them were to reach the final, the champion would be crowned the new World No. 1. While Ruud may be just two wins away from the monumental accomplishment, Alcaraz is yet to face off against his arch rival Jannik Sinner in the quarterfinals of the US Open on Wednesday. If Alcaraz wins his next three matches, he will become the youngest male player to reach the summit of the rankings in the Open Era.
