NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 Naomi Osaka and Iga Swiatek rolled into the quarterfinals at the U.S. Open<\/a>, showing off what once made each of them the top-ranked women\u2019s tennis player in the world.<\/p>\n

Osaka dominated Coco Gauff<\/a> 6-3, 6-2 in their highly anticipated showdown Monday in Arthur Ashe Stadium. Swiatek rallied from down 3-1 in the first set to beat Ekaterina Alexandrova 6-3, 6-1.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the beginning, I felt like she was playing really fast,\u201d said Swiatek, who is seeking her second U.S. Open title and seventh in a Grand Slam. \u201cI wanted to find my rhythm, but later on I really felt like I was in my bubble and in my zone.\u201d<\/p>\n

Osaka, in the quarterfinals at a major for the first time since 2021, is set to face No. 11 Karolina Muchova of the Czech Republic for a spot in the semifinals. Up next for Swiatek is American Amanda Anisimova in a rematch of her 6-0, 6-0 victory in the Wimbledon final<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The No.8-seeded Anisimova reached her first U.S. Open quarterfinal by beating No. 16 Beatriz Haddad Maia 6-0, 6-3. <\/p>\n

Rublev is out of the US Open<\/p>\n

On the men\u2019s side, 25th-seeded Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime advanced by defeating Andrey Rublev 7-5, 6-3, 6-4 in a match in Arthur Ashe Stadium that took just over two hours.<\/p>\n

Auger-Aliassime won for just the second time in nine career matches against Rublev, the No. 15 seed who slammed his racket after losing a point in the second set.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs I won the first set, I felt like I was in control of the match,\u201d said Auger-Aliassime, who at age 25 is in the quarterfinals of a Grand Slam tournament for the fourth time. \u201dGood win considering our head-to-head, considering how good he is as a player.\u201d<\/p>\n

What else happened at the US Open on Monday?<\/p>\n

Alex de Minaur of Australia and Lorenzo Musetti of Italy advanced to the quarters by winning in straight sets. De Minaur is set to play Auger-Aliassime next. Top-seeded Jannik Sinner<\/a> routed Alexander Bublik, the only player other than Carlos Alcaraz to beat him this season, 6-1, 6-1, 6-1. The defending champion will face Musetti, the No. 10 seed, on Wednesday. Venus Williams and Leylah Fernandez advanced to the quarterfinals<\/a> of women\u2019s doubles by beating the 12th-seeded duo of Ekaterina Alexandrova and Zhang Shuai. Afterward, Venus said it was time for her sister, Serena, to show up.<\/p>\n

Who is on Tuesday\u2019s schedule at the US Open?<\/p>\n

Second-ranked Carlos Alcaraz<\/a> faces Jiri Lehecka in one men\u2019s quarterfinal. It\u2019s American Taylor Fritz against four-time U.S. Open champion Novak Djokovic in the other, with the winners meeting in the semifinals Friday. In the women\u2019s quarterfinals, Jessica Pegula<\/a> plays Barbora Krejcikova, and top-seeded Aryna Sabalenka goes up against Marketa Vondrousova. Williams and Fernandez play against the top-seeded team of Taylor Townsend<\/a> and Katerina Siniakova.<\/p>\n
