An incredible match is coming up in the quarter-finals of the men\u2019s singles event at the US Open. Fans have some interesting ideas on who will win between Carlos Alcaraz and Ben Shelton.<\/p>\n

Carlos Alcaraz\u2019s return to the court after five months is going excellently so far. The 7-time Grand Slam winner has dropped just one set on his way to the US Open quarter-finals. <\/p>\n

Alcaraz\u2019s next opponent is Ben Shelton, who is experiencing something of a dream run himself. The American star dispatched Stefanos Tsitsipas with ease in the fourth round to book his spot. <\/p>\n

Their match is one of the most highly anticipated clashes of the tournament so far. Tennis fans online have their own opinions on who will get the job done. <\/p>\n

In their three previous meetings, Shelton has failed to beat Alcaraz even once. He has only ever managed to get one set against the Spaniard at the highest level. <\/p>\n

Shelton is in fine form too, looking to make his first US Open semi-final since 2023. However, fans on X seem to think that Alcaraz will get the job done. <\/p>\n

Shelton looks properly locked in. Serve is firing, forehand is doing damage, movement looks sharp. Feels like one of those matches where everything could finally click for him. Big stage, big opportunity. Big Ben might actually be cooking this time.<\/p>\n

Big stage, big opportunity. Big Ben might actually be cooking this time. Alcaraz in 3,\u201d one fan hilariously posted. <\/p>\n

\u201cCarlos will outclass him 3-0,\u201d said one fan, agreeing that Alcaraz will win. \u201cY\u2019all can say what you like, Carlos is ending this in straight sets,\u201d added another fan. <\/p>\n

Who wins the US Open quarter-final: Carlos Alcaraz or Ben Shelton? <\/p>\n

What do you think the score will be?<\/p>\n

\"\" <\/p>\n

\u201cAlcaraz will make it a drama by giving a set away and make it appear that Shelton has a real chance\u2026Then the cat playing with its food act ends abruptly,\u201d a fourth fan predicted. <\/p>\n

\u201cShelton\u2019s on fire, but Alcaraz is still the real deal,\u201d claimed a fifth fan, summing up the general feeling.<\/p>\n

Shelton has the chance to really make a statement if he manages to beat Alcaraz. However, the two-time US Open champion is truly a cut above the rest in the field, so it\u2019s hard to see that happening. <\/p>\n
