NEW YORK — Carlos Alcaraz progressed to the fourth round of the US Open on Friday, dispatching Wu Yibing of China 6-3 6-4 6-1 in a one-sided encounter that demonstrated the defending champion's continued dominance at the Grand Slam.
The Spaniard's authoritative performance on court left little doubt about his credentials as the man to beat in New York. Alcaraz controlled proceedings from the outset, breaking Wu's serve multiple times and dictating play with his aggressive baseline game and tactical acumen.
With the comfortable victory, Alcaraz has now won 11 consecutive sets at the tournament, a streak that reflects both his form and his opponents' inability to mount sustained challenges against his pace and precision.
The 20-year-old's path to a potential third US Open crown remains clear as he seeks to add to his previous triumphs at Flushing Meadows. His next test in the fourth round will determine whether his momentum continues in pursuit of another Grand Slam title.
