Carlos Alcaraz is set to go up against Alexander Zverev in the quarter-finals of the 2023 US Open.
In his most recent match in the round of 16, Alcaraz secured a 6-3, 6-3, 6-4 victory over Matteo Arnaldi.
Meanwhile, Zverev also emerged victorious in his round of 16 encounter, defeating Jannik Sinner 6-4, 3-6, 6-2, 4-6, 6-3, overcoming a rude supporter who chanted a Hitler phrase at Zverev along the way.
As the defending champion, Alcaraz has only dropped one set in the New York tournament thus far. However, the Spaniard will approach the upcoming match with caution, considering that Zverev currently holds a 3-2 advantage in their head-to-head rivalry.
Alcaraz is currently defending a Grand Slam title for the first time, having clinched the US Open title last season by defeating Casper Ruud in the final.
However, he has since eclipsed that achievement with a remarkable five-set victory over the four-time reigning Wimbledon champion, Novak Djokovic, in July.
Notably, Alcaraz boasts the highest number of wins this season, recording 57, outperforming all other players. Only Djokovic has endured fewer losses, with five defeats compared to Alcaraz's six.
