Kathmandu— Spanish tennis star Carlos Alcaraz has continued his impressive run at the US Open, defeating American 20th seed Tommy Paul 6-4, 6-3, 6-4 to reach the quarterfinals. The 23-year-old, who has not dropped a set in four matches, extended his major match-winning streak to 18 matches, showcasing his dominance on the world's biggest stage.

Alcaraz's Impressive Performance

Alcaraz, who has been playing with a renewed sense of confidence after recovering from a right wrist injury, demonstrated his top form in New York. His aggressive play and precise shotmaking were on full display as he outmaneuvered Paul, who is known for his powerful hitting. Alcaraz's serve, though initially under pressure, ultimately proved too strong, as he secured the victory with a powerful forehand that brought up match point.

Continuing Grand Slam Success

Alcaraz's win over Paul marks his 18th consecutive Grand Slam match victory, a streak that has seen him dominate the world's top players. The seven-time Grand Slam champion has been particularly dominant against American players at the Grand Slams, boasting a 13-0 record. His performance at the US Open has been nothing short of spectacular, with Alcaraz's aggressive style and precision shots leaving spectators in awe.

Alcaraz's Confidence and Future Prospects

Alcaraz expressed satisfaction with his performance, stating, 'I think I just played my game. I tried to play to my style. Tommy’s such a talented player, and his shots are pretty dangerous, and it’s difficult to control the ball when it comes to you. I was ready for a battle.' The victory sets Alcaraz up for a potential meeting with American Ben Shelton or Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas in the next round, with the Spaniard showing no signs of slowing down.
