Taylor Fritz’s quest to reach the Round of 16 in New York for the fourth year in a row ended in stunning fashion.

The 2024 US Open finalist lost to Francisco Cerundolo in five sets, despite having a two-set lead.

Fritz started strong, aggressively attacking Cerundolo’s second serve and taking advantage of the Argentinian’s inconsistency.

However, Cerundolo rallied in the final three sets, unleashing his signature forehand.

Despite his impressive form entering the match, Fritz finished with 54 unforced errors and won only 67 percent of points on his first serve.

Match of the Day: Carlos Alcaraz (2) vs. Tommy Paul (20)

On Sunday, Tommy Paul will look to reach the US Open quarterfinals for the first time in his career.

The 29-year-old has made the last eight at every other major, but not yet in New York.

This year’s chance to achieve that milestone will be challenging, as Carlos Alcaraz stands on the opposite side of the net.

Alcaraz is aiming to become the first repeat US Open champion since Roger Federer.

The 23-year-old Spaniard came into the tournament after a four-month break to deal with a wrist injury.

You could see the rust in his earlier matches, especially in his third-round win over Yibing Wu.

Alcaraz racked up 33 unforced errors, struggling to find consistency on his dangerous forehand.

Although the seven-time major champion has a 6-2 record against Paul, his current form gives Paul a genuine opportunity to cause an upset.

That being said, Alcaraz should have just enough in store to advance.

Prediction: No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz def. No. 20 Tommy Paul in 4 sets
