NAVARRO OUSTS GAUFF AT FLUSHING MEADOWS, ADVANCES TO LAST EIGHT
Furthermore, Navarro ousts Gauff with a 6-3, 4-6, 6-3 victory to advance to the last eight.
Moreover, the No.13 seed forced Gauff, with 19 double-faults and only 14 winners, to exit early at a Grand Slam tournament.
The loss capped a roller-coaster summer for Gauff, who was the female flagbearer for the US in the Paris Olympics but was ousted in the third round in women’s singles.
“So many people want to be in the fourth round (of the US Open). Many people want to make the Olympics,” Gauff said.
“So many people want to be flag bearer. It’s perspective,” she added.
Gauff was undone by a total of 60 unforced errors – 29 on her forehand side.
DIMITROV REACHES QUARTERFINALS AFTER HOLDING OFF RUBLEV’S COMEBACK TRY
Moreover, Dimitrov reached the quarterfinals after he held off Andrey Rublev’s comeback try with a 6-3, 7-6(3), 1-6, 3-6, 6-3 win.
Furthermore, the No.9 seed regained control after yielding the third and fourth sets to seal the win and reach his eighth Grand Slam quarterfinal.
Dmitrov recalled beating Roger Federer in the same round in 2019 to match his best result in a major.
“It brings back such good memories from 2019, so I thought, “Why not another five-setter?” Dimitrov asked.
The win sets up Dimitrov for a last-eight matchup against No.20 Frances Tiafoe.
Tiafoe posted a 6-4, 7-6(3), 2-6, 6-3 win over No.28 Alexei Poyrin.
Meanwhile, No12 seed Taylor Fritz will join Dimitrov and Tiafoe in the quarterfinals after ousting No.8 seed Casper Ruud, 3-6, 6-4, 6-3, 6-2.
ANDY MURRAY SLAMS ‘AMATEURISH’ TENNIS’ SCHEDULING AT US OPEN
Furthermore, recently retired legend Andy Murray slammed what he called an “amateurish” tennis’ scheduling at Grand Slam tournaments, particularly the US Open.
Moreover, the former world No.1 cited Chinese Qinwen Zheng’s victory over Donna Vekic.
That fourth-round match ended at 2:15 am local time on Monday.
“The tennis scheduling situation is a total mess. It looks so amateurish having matches going at 2,3 4 am sort it out,” Murray said on social media.
He later tagged the ATP, WTA, and International Tennis Federation in his post.
Murray was a victim of late finishes when he was still playing.
His second-round match against Thanasi Kokkinakis at the Australian Open went five sets, ended at five hours, 45 minutes, and finished at 4:05 am local.
