Alcaraz reaches US Open last 16, beats Wu Yibing in straight sets
–
Neutral summary
Carlos Alcaraz, the defending champion, defeated China’s Wu Yibing 6-3, 6-4, 6-1 to advance to the fourth round at Flushing Meadows. The Spaniard admitted he is playing better than he expected after his return from a wrist injury that kept him sidelined for four and a half months. His outfit change drew attention: he covered his modesty after criticism that his nipples were too visible. John McEnroe raised concerns about his future, citing Bjorn Borg, who retired at 25, saying it would be “terrible” if Alcaraz could not regain his previous level. In the women’s draw, Aryna Sabalenka also reached the last 16, beating Kamilla Rakhimova 6-3, 6-4, while the Williams sisters exited in doubles.
