Carlos Alcaraz<\/a> and Tommy Paul are set for a tantalising fourth round match at the US Open this year.<\/p>\n

Alcaraz has breezed through to the fourth round of the competition, despite returning from a knee injury, by beating Roman Safiullin, Jaume Faria, and Wu Yibing.<\/p>\n

Paul, meanwhile, has had three tough battles against Coleman Wong, Dino Prizmic, and Alexander Bublik, the latter of which went the full five sets.<\/p>\n

The American will undoubtedly provide Alcaraz\u2019s toughest test since his return and he is confident he can dispatch the Spaniard at his home Grand Slam.<\/p>\n

Carlos Alcaraz makes ominous claim after another impressive US Open win<\/a><\/p>\n

US Open: Martina Navratilova reveals \u2018horrible\u2019 tennis issue after Carlos Alcaraz complaints<\/a><\/p>\n

Speaking during his post-match press conference, the American said: \u201cIt\u2019s crazy to be playing against Carlos<\/a> again. I\u2019d say he\u2019s the player I\u2019ve faced the most times on the entire tour. We\u2019ve had some great battles, but he\u2019s also given me a few beatings.<\/p>\n

\u201cBoth he and Sinner<\/a> are the dominant players and the ultimate test for everyone else. I\u2019m going to give it my all; I want to play my best tennis because I know I\u2019ll need it to beat him. I refuse to step onto the court thinking I can\u2019t beat any opponent.<\/p>\n

\u201cI always go out there with the mindset that I have what it takes to win. I expect we\u2019ll play in Arthur Ashe<\/a> Stadium , and maybe it will be a night session. I know people love him in New York, but I hope they\u2019ll cheer me on.\u201d<\/p>\n

Paul<\/a> and Alcaraz have met eight times on the ATP Tour<\/a>, with the last five matches going the way of the Spaniard.<\/p>\n

The American has won just two of his matches against Alcaraz, and he has not tasted victory against the seven-time Grand Slam champion since the 2023 season.<\/p>\n

Paul\u2019s victories over Alcaraz both came at the Canadian Open, in 2022 and 2023, which could be a good omen for the American.<\/p>\n

His two wins coming on hardcourt and in North America will likely provide him a boost, but Alcaraz has also picked up wins against Paul in Miami<\/a> and Cincinnati.<\/p>\n

They have also met at the Australian Open<\/a>, Wimbledon<\/a>, and Roland Garros<\/a>, all of which were won by Alcaraz, so they will complete the set with their meeting at the US Open.<\/p>\n

Their last meeting came at the 2026 Australian Open, which saw Alcaraz win in the round of 16 and go on to lift the Grand Slam title, so he will be hoping history repeats itself.<\/p>\n

Alcaraz and Paul are set to play on Sunday, 6th September, with the order of play yet to be confirmed by the Grand Slam. They will, however, be very likely to be placed on Arthur Ashe Stadium.<\/p>\n
