Day 7 completes the Round of 32 with a loaded 16-match slate, 8 men’s and 8 women’s. The draw has thinned to 32, and the quality of matchups has spiked accordingly. Six seed-vs-seed clashes headline the day, led by Alexander Blockx (-117) as a slight favorite over Flavio Cobolli in one of the most stunning lines of the tournament. Arthur Ashe Stadium hosts Taylor Fritz (-830) and Coco Gauff (-3900) in the day session, with Iva Jovic (-131) against Alexandra Eala and Alexander Zverev (-680) closing out the evening. First-round upsets have reshaped the bottom half of the men’s draw, producing an unseeded Khachanov-Bonzi third-round match after Karen Khachanov stunned Felix Auger-Aliassime and Botic Van de Zandschulp took down Alex De Minaur.

Matches to Watch
[28] Alexander Blockx (-117) vs. [5] Flavio Cobolli (-107) is the most remarkable line on the entire Saturday card. The 28th seed (ranked #32, Belgium, age 21) is a slight favorite over the 5th seed (ranked #6, Italy, age 24) on Armstrong at 12:10 p.m. Blockx has posted a 16-10 record in 2026, while Cobolli’s 13-9 on hard courts is respectable but unspectacular for a player of his seeding. DraftKings has this as close to a coin flip as it gets, and the 21-year-old Belgian looks ready to announce himself on the biggest stage.
[14] Iva Jovic (-131) vs. [17] Alexandra Eala (+104) is a showpiece third-round match between two of the youngest players left in the women’s draw. Jovic (ranked #14, USA, age 18) has been outstanding in 2026 with a 31-16 record (17-9 on hard courts), while the left-handed Eala (ranked #18, Philippines, age 21) brings a 38-20 season (19-10 on hard courts). At +104, Eala is essentially an even-money pick, and the contrasting styles (Jovic’s power vs. Eala’s left-handed craft) should make for compelling viewing on Ashe at 7:00 p.m.
[17] Jakub Mensik (+108) vs. [14] Learner Tien (-137) is another seed-as-underdog matchup, this time closing out Armstrong. Mensik (ranked #18, Czechia, age 21) has a 21-9 hard-court record in 2026, while the left-handed Tien (ranked #15, USA, age 20) is 15-9 on the surface. Two 20-somethings, two different styles, and a line that says this match could go either way in the evening session.
[22] Madison Keys (-173) vs. Qinwen Zheng (Q) (+136) pits the 22nd seed against the tournament’s most dangerous qualifier. Keys (ranked #23, USA, age 31), a former world #5, brings experience and firepower. But Zheng (ranked #121, China, age 23), a former world #4 who has been playing as a qualifier, owns the kind of ball-striking talent that can overwhelm anyone. At +136, the public is taking Zheng seriously, and Keys will know she is in a fight from the first ball.
Biggest Favorites
[4] Coco Gauff (-3900) is the heaviest favorite on the card by a wide margin. The 22-year-old American (ranked #4) has posted a 40-13 record with a 25-6 hard-court mark and faces Cristina Bucsa (ranked #40, Spain), whose 9-15 season record tells the story. Gauff opens the afternoon session on Ashe, and the -3900 line implies a 97.5% win probability.
[2] Elena Rybakina (-1160) faces Yuliia Starodubtseva, who upset [32] Maria Sakkari in the second round, on the Grandstand at 5:00 p.m. Rybakina (ranked #2, Kazakhstan) has been dominant in 2026 with a 42-13 record (28-5 on hard courts). Starodubtseva (ranked #58, Ukraine) will be a significant step down in competition.
[9] Taylor Fritz (-830) opens Ashe against [24] Francisco Cerundolo in a seed-vs-seed matchup that the oddsmakers do not consider competitive. Fritz (ranked #10, USA) has gone 20-10 on hard courts, while Cerundolo (ranked #25, Argentina) is a modest 7-7 on the surface. The American should advance comfortably.
[1] Alexander Zverev (-680) closes Ashe against the left-handed [25] Alejandro Tabilo. Zverev (ranked #2, Germany) has compiled a 46-13 season. Tabilo (ranked #28, Chile) is 10-8 on hard courts and will need his best tennis to hang with the top seed.
Upset Watch
[5] Flavio Cobolli (-107) vs. [28] Alexander Blockx (-117) technically qualifies as an upset if the lower seed wins, but the odds say Blockx is already the better player on this surface. This is less an upset and more a market correction.
Qinwen Zheng (Q) (+136) vs. [22] Madison Keys (-173) is the best value on the board for an upset. Zheng is a former world #4 who has been playing below her talent level all season. If her game clicks in New York, Keys will be in serious trouble. At +136, this is a bet on talent over current form.
[31] Zizou Bergs (+184) vs. Botic Van de Zandschulp (-239) features the seed as the underdog on Stadium 17. Bergs (ranked #35, Belgium) is 8-11 on hard courts in 2026, while Van de Zandschulp (ranked #70, Netherlands), who upset Alex De Minaur in the second round, rides a wave of momentum. The Dutchman’s form makes +184 generous for the seed and -239 justified for the giant-killer.
[17] Alexandra Eala (+104) vs. [14] Iva Jovic (-131) is tight enough to flip either way. Eala’s left-handed game has carried her to a 19-10 hard-court record, and at +104, the Filipino is getting the shortest underdog price of any seed-vs-seed match on the women’s side. An Eala win would barely qualify as an upset.
