Zone 4/4.

In fact, the overall pattern of this district is the most stable and strongest, and it is particularly calm amidst the chaos and turmoil in Flushing this year.

In the 7/8 subdivision, the two highest-ranked seed players Berdych and Gasquet successfully met.

Berdych, who has been in a bad situation recently, still showed a stable performance, maintaining an excellent winning rate against players ranked above 30 in the world, advancing steadily all the way, and successfully reached the fourth round without attention, expectations or pressure. , undoubtedly this is a small surprise.

Gasquet, whose career has gained new vitality this year, continued his wonderful performance at Wimbledon and once again showed superb offense; and as the games progressed, his condition gradually improved, his performance became more and more outstanding, and he was low-key. Breaking into the top 16 ranks.

The two players each have six wins and are evenly matched; however, since last year, Berdych has won three consecutive games against Gasquet. , completely reversing the disadvantageous situation between the two people in the past.

This meeting is full of highlights. The key point is whether Berdych can seize the opportunity, regain his form, and reverse the downturn of the past half year; of course, Gasquet will never give up easily, from Wimbledon to Flushing's consistent and excellent form will be the best weapon.

Berdych took the first set, "6:2".

Gasquet, Jedi counterattack, "6:3", "6:4", "6:1".

Finally, Gasquet ended his three-game losing streak against Berdych and advanced to the quarterfinals for the second consecutive Grand Slam. The former genius seemed to have finally found his track.

So, next, Gasquet’s opponent in the quarterfinals is...?

On the eighth match day, all the bustling eyes were directed towards Louis Armstrong Stadium—

"Gawain VS Agut".

As Gao Wen said, "half a home court" is only half a home court after all, and there is no comparison with Federer's global home courts, not to mention this is the US Open.

With Isner and Donald Young competing for the quarterfinals at the same time, there is no suspense about the choice of the US Open Organizing Committee. In addition, Wawrinka also deserves a center court treatment, so Arthur Ashe Stadium The arrangements for the two men’s singles have also emerged:

"Federer vs. Isner." ..

"Wawrinka vs. Donald Young."

Not surprising.

Naturally, Gao Wen came to Louis Armstrong Stadium for the first time to play, but his opponent was a little surprised.

Originally, when the draw was released, the matchup of seeds in this small division once aroused heated discussion, because the opponent against Gawain was Goffin.

Goffin from Belgium.

Last summer, the ATP official website introduced two rising stars as the headlines on its home page. One was Goffin, who returned from injury, and the other was Gao Wen, who entered the professional arena from the NCAA. The two players competed in European and North American challenges respectively. Reaching the top spot for three consecutive weeks with fifteen consecutive victories.

Suddenly, both players attracted much attention and sparked widespread discussion.

In the blink of an eye, a year has passed, and both Gawain and Goffin have lived up to expectations, gaining a foothold in the tour in their own way and winning a place.

A year ago, an unknown player holding a wild card suddenly became the second seed in the tournament, and became the biggest attraction in the 4/4 area as the defending champion.

A year ago, the young player who had just returned from injury and was always not favored due to his physical disadvantage has now established a firm foothold in the top 20 in the world.

Gao Wen, born in 1995, and Goffin, born in 1990, are representatives of the youth storm—

This is the scene that everyone is looking forward to, the youthful storm meeting again.

When Raonic was plagued by injuries and Dimitrov fell into a slump, Goffin's stable performance quietly completed the overtake. He has quietly reached the fourteenth place in the world rankings.
