Carlos Alcaraz looked stellar in his return to tennis, defeating Roman Safiullin in straight sets.<\/p>\n
The defending champion entered the US Open on the heels of a four-month-long absence due to a wrist injury.<\/p>\n
However, Alcaraz alleviated concerns rather quickly, impressing with his forehand and top-tier fitness.<\/p>\n
Though Alcaraz did not hit his serve at top speeds, he saved 5 of 6 break points and dominated at the net, winning 19 of 24 points.<\/p>\n
In other action, Stefanos Tsitsipas upset Arthur Fils in four sets, earning his first top 10 win at a major since 2022.<\/p>\n
Fils had entered off the heels of winning the Cincinnati Open and was considered a strong contender to win the US Open.<\/p>\n
However, Tsitsipas played impressive tennis, showing why he was a top-3 player in 2021.<\/p>\n
In the final men’s match at Arthur Ashe Stadium, Ben Shelton defeated Tallon Griekspoor in four sets.<\/p>\n
Shelton started slowly, dropping the first set in just 29 minutes after making 14 unforced errors.<\/p>\n
However, he quickly regained his rhythm and dominated on serve while committing just two unforced errors to even the match.<\/p>\n
But the third set was anything but routine, as both players traded service holds, leading to a tie-breaker where Shelton did more than enough to emerge.<\/p>\n
That proved vital for the top-ranked American, who secured an early break in the fourth set and then held serve comfortably to seal the win.<\/p>\n

Match of the Day: Taylor Fritz (9) vs. Darwin Blanch<\/p>\n
Taylor Fritz enters the US Open with hopes of reaching a Grand Slam final for the second time in his career.<\/p>\n
The 28-year-old American has played quite well on the hard-court swing this summer, winning the Citi Open while reaching the quarterfinal at the Cincinnati Open.<\/p>\n
Fritz possesses the tools necessary for another deep run with his booming serve and heavy groundstrokes.<\/p>\n
American compatriot Darwin Blanch can also do damage with his serve and heavy forehand; however, he has struggled to pile up consistent results as of late, making the prospects of pulling off an upset of this caliber extremely unlikely.<\/p>\n
