The quarterfinals conclude on Wednesday in New York.
Thus far in their young careers, Coco Gauff has dominated her rivalry with fellow Roland Garros champion Mirra Andreeva. Gauff is 5-0 against Andreeva, which includes a straight-set victory three years ago at this event, the same year Gauff went on to win this title. If Coco defeats Mirra again, she will face either Elena Rybakina or Qinwen Zheng in Thursday’s semifinals. And if Rybakina defeats Qinwen, she’ll become the new World No.1 on Monday.
Wednesday’s ATP singles semifinals see Alexander Zverev take on Botic van de Zandschulp, and Alexander Blockx go up against Karen Khachanov.
Here’s a rundown of the most notable matches on Day 11 (in chronological order, all times local):
Qinwen Zheng (Q) vs. Elena Rybakina (2) – 11:30am on Arthur Ashe Stadium
In what must be a first at this level of the sport, Qinwen came back from 0-5 down in consecutive sets, winning the last seven games in both the third set against Madison Keys, as well as in the first set of the next round against Iga Swiatek. Qinwen was also a US Open quarterfinalist in her last two appearances, with an absence last year due to elbow surgery. Due to that injury, she had to come through qualifying for this event, and this will be her eighth match across the last two-and-a-half weeks.
Rybakina is yet to drop a set, and looked alarmingly dominant in the last round against Naomi Osaka, defeating the two-time former champion in just over an hour. This is Rybakina’s first quarterfinal appearance in New York, and she is 4-2 in quarterfinals at the other three Majors. She also holds a 4-1 edge over Qinwen, though almost all of their matches have been tight. In two prior meetings this season, Rybakina required three sets to overcome Qinwen. With the opportunity to become the World No.1 for the first time in her career with a victory on Wednesday, Rybakina will be the player feeling a lot more pressure in this quarterfinal. And qualifier Qinwen may feel as if she has nothing to lose.
Karen Khachanov vs. Alexander Blockx (28) – Not Before 12:30pm on Arthur Ashe Stadium
Khachanov’s recent form provided no foreshadowing of this quarterfinal run, with a losing record on the year, and a loss in the first week of the last four Majors. But the 30-year-old has always been a streaky player, and deep runs in Majors have been rather common occurrence throughout his career. This is a seventh Major quarterfinal for Khachanov, though he is 2-4 previously in this round. He already took out two seeded players (Auger-Aliassime, Tien), with an impressive effort to outlast Tien in five sets.
This is a first Major quarterfinal for 21-year-old Blockx, who followed up an upset over Flavio Cobolli by taking out Francisco Cerundolo. However, Blockx described feeling a sharp pain in his ribs during the Cerundolo match on Monday, putting his condition for this match in doubt. This will be a first career meeting.
Mirra Andreeva (5) vs. Coco Gauff (4) – Not Before 2:00pm on Arthur Ashe Stadium
Outside of their match here three years ago, their other four meetings have all been on clay. The most recent of those encounters took place in both of the last two years in Rome, with Gauff winning in straights in 2025, and in three sets in 2026. And there’s not much evidence to support Andreeva notching her first victory over Gauff on Wednesday.
Gauff is currently playing her best tennis, reflected by 10-match win streak, accompanied by a 20-set win streak. And while Andreeva has played well through four rounds, she went just 3-2 on hard courts this summer prior to this fortnight, and was previously just 4-3 in New York. In a head-to-head that is so decidedly in Gauff’s favor, it would be surprising if Andreeva can turn it around at Gauff’s home Slam.
Alexander Zverev (1) vs. Botic van de Zandschulp – Not Before 7:30pm on Arthur Ashe Stadium
Just like the last two Majors, the draw has been extremely kind to Zverev. Almost all the considerable candidates to win this title landed in the other half. The top seed required five sets in both of his first two rounds, then won the next two rounds in straights against seeded players, though both of those men are more comfortable on clay (Tabilo, Darderi).
Now he gets a kind quarterfinal draw in an unseeded player who was on court for well over five hours on Monday. And that was a second five-setter in a row for van de Zandschulp, who has fought brilliantly this fortnight, but must be exhausted. And this is just Botic’s second Major quarterfinal, after first achieving that feat five years ago at this same event. Surprisingly, this will be a first-time meeting between two men who have been on tour for a long time, and are rather close in age.
