The men’s Grand Slam quarter-final in New York Carlos Alcaraz vs Alexander Zverev is scheduled for Wednesday 6 September at 19:00 and will be broadcast live on Eurosport 1.

Carlos Alcaraz and Alexander Zverev met in one of the most anticipated matches of the US Open 2023 men’s draw, facing the reigning champion and one of the most representative players of the new wave of world tennis.

Carlos Alcaraz (Spain, 1 ATP), title holder and No. 1 favorite and reached this stage of the tournament this year after defeating Dominik Koepfer (Germany, 75 ATP), 6-2, 3-2, forfeit, Lloyd Harris (South Africa , 177 ATP), 6-3, 6-1, 7-6, Daniel Evans (Great Britain, 28 ATP), 6-2, 6-3, 4-6, 6-3, and Matteo Arnaldi (Italy , 61 ATP), score 6-3. 6-3, 6-4.

The Spaniard became the second Open-era player after Andre Agassi (USA) to reach the quarter-finals of three Under-21 Grand Slams, but will lose the world number one spot even if he wins the tournament (he will “play” Novak Djokovic as the Serb did not participate in the previous season and has no points to defend).

“I try not to think about the fact that I am the untitled champion. I just try to focus on my game, what I need to do to be the best on the court. I have all the pressure that people put on crowned champions. I’m trying to get rid of that pressure and focus on my game,” Carlos Alcaraz said.

Oleksandr Zverev (Germany, 12 ATP) advanced to the quarterfinals of the US Open, beating Oleksandr Vukic (Australia, 50 ATP), 6-4, 6-4, 6-4, Daniel Altmaier (Germany, 53 ATP), 7-6 , 3-6, 6-4, 6-3, Grigor Dimitrov (Bulgaria, 19 ATP), score 6-7, 7-6, 6-1, 6-1, and Yannick Sinner (Italy, 6 ATP), score 6-4, 3-6, 6-2, 4-6, 6-3.

The German failed to win a Grand Slam, but he won the Olympic title in Tokyo in 2021 and twice (2018 and 2021) the Champions Tour, and in 2023 he won only in Hamburg.

“I’m here to play. This is what I love to do. I don’t know how this will end, but I’ll give it my all. I will fight until the last moment, I will be ready for anything,” Oleksandr Zverev said.
