Nadal looks to extend stranglehold over Gasquet at US Open

NEW YORK, Sept 4 — Rafael Nadal takes center stage at the US Open yesterday when the four-time champion looks to stretch his perfect record against Richard Gasquet to 18 wins.

As well as losing 17 times in 17 meetings with Nadal on the professional circuit, the Frenchman has dropped the last 31 sets against his childhood rival.Nadal arrived at the US Open having played just one match since forfeiting his Wimbledon semi-final due to an abdominal injury.Against Fabio Fognini, he even injured himself with his own racquet which bounced off the court and crashed into his nose.

Alcaraz, a quarter-finalist in 2021, managed to break one of his tennis shoes as he slid to reach a ball mid-match.British seventh seed Cameron Norrie made the fourth round for the first time with a comfortable 7-5, 6-4, 6-1 win over Danish teenager Holger Rune. Two-time Wimbledon champion Kvitova said she had drawn inspiration from Serena Williams when the American legend saved five match points before eventually being eliminated in her third round tie.

One of those is eighth-seeded Pegula who ended the run of Chinese qualifier Yuan Yue, 6-2, 6-7 , 6-0.
