After causing a massive Round of 16 boilover, reborn qualifier Qinwen Zheng is aiming to topple second seed Elena Rybakina in the US Open quarters.
Rybakina has a 4-1 advantage over Zheng, whose sole win came at the 2024 WTA Finals. Since then, Rybakina has chalked up victories at the Qatar Open and Madrid Masters earlier this season – though both went to a deciding set.
The 2024 Australian Open runner-up and a former top-five star, Zheng has emerged from an injury-ravaged run to reach the last eight at the US Open for the third time.
The 23-year-old had to battle through three qualifying matches, then notched her first grand slam wins since last year’s French Open over Kristina Liutova and Yulia Putintseva. Zheng went up a level to upset 22nd seed Madison Keys (1-6 7-6 7-5) and eighth seed Iga Swiatek (7-5 6-3).
Current Australian Open champ Rybakina reached the Canadian Masters final and has maintained that momentum with straight-sets wins over Thea Frodin, Jessica Bouzas Maneiro, Yulia Starodubtseva and 13th seed Naomi Osaka.
Zheng’s fairytale arc is compelling and she’s dug her way out of multiple 0-5 set scorelines, but Rybakina has been as dominant as any player in the tournament in what has been her most successful US Open foray to date.
Prediction: BACK RYBAKINA TO WIN 2-0 @ $1.88
Grand slam winners and top-five seeds Mirra Andreeva and Coco Gauff square off in a blockbuster US Open quarterfinal – but it’s the American with a commanding rivalry advantage.
Gauff has won all five of her encounters with Andreeva, including at the US Open in 2023 and the past two Rome Masters.
The champion in 2023, Gauff was knocked out in the fourth round of the past two US Opens but has followed up a Cincinnati Masters triumph with straight-sets wins over Zenyep Sonmez, Paula Badosa, Cristina Bucsa and 14th seed Iva Jovic.
Andreeva earned her maiden grand slam title at this year’s French Open but had never previously made it past the third round in New York.
The 19-year-old cruised past Janice Tjen, Eva Lys and Nikola Bartunkova in straight sets last week, then came from behind to beat 24th seed Anastasia Potapova 5-7 6-4 6-3.
But Gauff has been unflappable this week, the crowd will be behind her and Andreeva has also has that stark head-to-head record to get past mentally.
Prediction: BACK GAUFF TO WIN 2-0 @ $2.10
In a quarterfinal few could have seen coming, rejuvenated veteran Karen Khachanov and breakout performer Alexander Blockx meet in a fascinating duel.
World No.50 Khachanov, a US Open semifinalist in 2022, has produced his best hard-court major run in more than three years.
He beat Roman Andres Burruchaga and Benjamin Bonzi in straight sets either side of a four-set upset of third seed Felix Auger-Aliassime, while he came from a set down to beat 14th seed Learner Tien in five.
Belgian Blockx is seeded 28th after a big clay swing, but his first US Open foray has exceeded expectations.
The 21-year-old beat Marcelo Tomas Barrios Vera in straight sets in the first round, then has eliminated Marco Trungelliti, fifth seed Flavio Cobolli and 24th seed Francisco Cerundolo in four sets. He suffered through a rib injury to get the job done against Cerundolo.
Khachanov heads in as a $1.60 favourite, but it remains to be seen the toll his five-set battle with Tien will have. Blockx’s health is a concern but he’s nevertheless an attractive underdog against a player who hasn’t been this deep in any tournament for some time.
Prediction: BACK BLOCKX TO COVER THE GAMES HANDICAP (+2.5) @ $1.90
Top seed Alexander Zverev and world No.70 surprise packet Botic van de Zandschulp square off for the last US Open semifinal berth.
French Open champ Zverev got his campaign off to a slow start with five-set battles against Lorenzo Sonego and Quentin Halys. But he’s looked far more comfortable in the past two rounds with straight-sets defeats of seeded players Alejandro Tabilo and Luciano Darderi.
The German reached his first grand slam final here in 2020, while he made the semis in 2021 and lost quarterfinals in 2023-24.
Van de Zandschulp’s only previous quarterfinal run at a major came at the 2021 US Open. He’s been largely off the radar in recent times and hadn’t been past the third round of a slam in the past four years.
Bu the Dutch journeyman disposed of Jan Choinski and sixth seed Alex de Minaur in straight sets, then has outlasted 31st seed Zizou Bergs and lucky loser Arthur Gea in back-to-back five-setters.
Zverev is a short $1.11 favourite to advance to his 13th grand slam semi. Convincing wins over quality competitors in the past two rounds suggests he is back to his best after a shaky start to the tournament.
Prediction: BACK ZVEREV TO COVER THE GAMES HANDICAP (-6.5) @ $1.85
