Third appearance by Carlos Alcaraz - and for the third time the 19-year-old Spaniard was allowed to play at Arthur Ashe Stadium. This time against Jenson Brooksby, a man who grew up on hard courts. In the two previous matches, Alcaraz had two clay court experts in Sebastian Baez and Federico Coria. But as with the two Argentines, he had no problems with Brooksby.

Alcaraz didn't let himself be disturbed by an interim break deficit in the third round and won 6: 3, 6: 3 and 6: 3 completely unchallenged. Juan Carlos Ferrero's protégé is now waiting for the winner of the game between Marin Cilic and Daniel Evans.

In the first men's match of the day, Cameron Norrie showed that he must also be included on the list of potential US Open champions in 2022. Because the seventh seeded Brit showed an extremely mature performance against Holger Rune from Denmark, winning 7:5, 6:4 and 6:1. Norrie plays either Andrey Rublev or Denis Shapovalov in the round of 16.

Here is the men's individual tableau
