Italian sixth seed Jannik Sinner remained on course for a US Open quarterfinals rematch with Carlos Alcaraz on Thursday, Aug. 31, as Grand Slam winners Aryna Sabalenka and Marketa Vondrousova advanced safely.
Jannik Sinner of Italy reacts during the match against Lorenzo Sonego of Italy during their Men's Singles Second Round match on Day Four of the 2023 US Open at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center at USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center on Thursday, Aug. 31, in the Flushing neighborhood of the Queens borough of New York City.
"We work a lot, me and my team, trying to push myself forward and I feel like my game has improved," Sinner said afterwards. Alcaraz, meanwhile, will face Harris on the Arthur Ashe main court later looking for match practice after his tournament opener was cut short on Tuesday. While Murray tumbled out, fellow Britons Jack Draper and Katie Boulter both advanced to the third round in contrasting fashion in their second-round matches.
Sabalenka, 25, has reached the semifinals or better at the past four Grand Slams and can replace Iga Swiatek as world number one if she matches the Pole's result in New York.
