Today,on August 3, the world No. 2 will meet China’s seventh seed Zheng Qinwen in the quarterfinals (a repeat of this year’s Australian Open final, which Sabalenka won)
Sabalenka reached the final in New York last year, where she lost to Coco Gauff, but this year she defeated Gauff to reach the fourth round.
“I really enjoy playing on these big courts. I feel supported and I just don’t want to leave early. I want to stay as long as I can and savor this beautiful court and atmosphere,” said the two-time Australian Open champion.
In the men’s quarterfinals, host’s hopes rest on Taylor Fritz and Francis Tiafoe as they aim to end a 21-year drought for American Grand Slam champions. Fritz will face fourth seed Alexander Zverev, while Tiafoe will meet Grigor Dimitrov.
