Taylor Fritz’s quest to reach the Round of 16 in New York for the fourth year in a row ended in stunning fashion.<\/p>\n
The 2024 US Open finalist lost to Francisco Cerundolo in five sets, despite having a two-set lead.<\/p>\n
Fritz started strong, aggressively attacking Cerundolo’s second serve and taking advantage of the Argentinian’s inconsistency.<\/p>\n
However, Cerundolo rallied in the final three sets, unleashing his signature forehand.<\/p>\n
Despite his impressive form entering the match, Fritz finished with 54 unforced errors and won only 67 percent of points on his first serve.<\/p>\n

Match of the Day: Carlos Alcaraz (2) vs. Tommy Paul (20)<\/p>\n
On Sunday, Tommy Paul will look to reach the US Open quarterfinals for the first time in his career.<\/p>\n
The 29-year-old has made the last eight at every other major, but not yet in New York.<\/p>\n
This year’s chance to achieve that milestone will be challenging, as Carlos Alcaraz stands on the opposite side of the net.<\/p>\n
Alcaraz is aiming to become the first repeat US Open champion since Roger Federer.<\/p>\n
The 23-year-old Spaniard came into the tournament after a four-month break to deal with a wrist injury.<\/p>\n
You could see the rust in his earlier matches, especially in his third-round win over Yibing Wu.<\/p>\n
Alcaraz racked up 33 unforced errors, struggling to find consistency on his dangerous forehand.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
That being said, Alcaraz should have just enough in store to advance.<\/p>\n
