Matches to Watch
[5] Mirra Andreeva (+172) vs. [4] Coco Gauff (-214) is the match of the day, a blockbuster quarterfinal between two of the youngest stars in the women’s game. Gauff (USA, age 22, former world #2) has been one of the most consistent players in the draw with a 40-13 record (25-6 on hard courts). Andreeva (age 19, former world #5) has matched that production with a 40-13 record (17-8 on hard courts) and the kind of fearless shot-making that has carried her deep into Grand Slams before. At -214/+172, the line leans toward Gauff but gives Andreeva genuine respect. The 19-year-old has nothing to lose and the game to win. The Ashe crowd will be behind Gauff, but Andreeva thrives as the underdog.
Qinwen Zheng (Q) (+230) vs. [2] Elena Rybakina (-293) opens the day with the tournament’s most improbable storyline. Zheng entered as a qualifier after a difficult 11-13 season and has since torn through the draw, knocking off Madison Keys in the Round of 32 and Iga Swiatek in the Round of 16. Her ball-striking from the baseline is world-class, the kind of power that made her a top-5 player in the first place. Rybakina has been the most dominant hard-court player in the women’s draw at 42-13 (28-5 on hard courts). At +230, Zheng is a significant underdog, but she has already beaten two players in this draw who were favored more heavily against her. This is a genuine talent-on-talent clash.
Karen Khachanov (-160) vs. [28] Alexander Blockx (+131) is the most unlikely men’s quarterfinal of the tournament. Khachanov entered unseeded and has pulled off two of the men’s draw’s biggest upsets, stunning Felix Auger-Aliassime in the Round of 64 and Learner Tien in the Round of 16. His 16-18 season record (6-9 on hard courts) entering the tournament told the story of a player in decline, but his game has elevated in New York. Blockx has had his own fairy-tale run, ousting Flavio Cobolli in the Round of 32 and Francisco Cerundolo in the Round of 16. At -160/+131, the line is tight, and this match will produce a first-time Grand Slam semifinalist.
[1] Alexander Zverev (-910) vs. Botic Van de Zandschulp (+582) closes Ashe in the evening. Zverev has been the most dominant force in the men’s draw with a 46-13 record (17-7 on hard courts). Van de Zandschulp has been the men’s draw’s Cinderella, upsetting Alex De Minaur in the second round and outlasting Zizou Bergs and Arthur Gea (Q). The Dutchman’s 21-18 record (10-8 on hard courts) suggests the run ends here, but he has already exceeded every expectation.
Biggest Favorites
[1] Alexander Zverev (-910) is the heaviest favorite on the card by a wide margin. The top seed has been in cruise control through four rounds, and VdZ, despite his inspired run, represents a massive step down in competition. The -910 line implies roughly a 90% win probability, and Zverev’s serve and baseline depth should control this match from start to finish.
[2] Elena Rybakina (-293) has posted the best hard-court record in the women’s draw at 28-5, and her power game is built for the Ashe surface. Zheng is a real talent, but Rybakina’s consistency over a full season versus Zheng’s 11-13 record suggests the qualifier’s magic may run out against the best hard-court player she has faced.
[4] Coco Gauff (-214) carries a 25-6 hard-court record and the home-crowd advantage on Ashe. Andreeva’s 17-8 hard-court mark is strong, but Gauff’s experience at Flushing Meadows (she won the 2023 title at age 19) and her improved all-court game make her the clear favorite in this matchup.
Upset Watch
Qinwen Zheng (Q) (+230) vs. [2] Elena Rybakina (-293) is the best upset value on the card. Zheng is a former world #4 playing as a qualifier, and her back-to-back wins over Keys and Swiatek prove this is not a fluke. Her 9-6 hard-court record entering the tournament was modest, but her level at Flushing Meadows has been a class above anything she produced in the regular season. At +230, the implied probability sits around 30%, generous for a player with her pedigree and current form.
[5] Mirra Andreeva (+172) vs. [4] Coco Gauff (-214) is close enough to flip. The 19-year-old’s 40-13 record proves she can sustain a high level across a full season, and her fearless approach to big moments makes her dangerous in a best-of-three Grand Slam quarterfinal. At +172, this is closer to a coin flip than the seed numbers suggest.
[28] Alexander Blockx (+131) vs. Karen Khachanov (-160) is a genuine toss-up. Blockx has been one of the breakout stories of the tournament, and his 12-6 hard-court record in 2026 is significantly stronger than Khachanov’s 6-9. The 21-year-old Belgian is younger, fresher, and playing with the confidence of a player who has already exceeded expectations. At +131, this is the tightest line on the men’s side.
Semifinal Preview
Tuesday’s results set the stage for two blockbuster semifinals later in the week.
Men’s Semifinal: [11] Frances Tiafoe (+237) vs. [8] Ben Shelton (-302) is an all-American semifinal that Flushing Meadows has been dreaming about. Shelton stunned Carlos Alcaraz in a late-night classic on Tuesday, the biggest upset of the men’s tournament. Tiafoe dispatched Alex Michelsen earlier in the day. One of them will play in the US Open final.
Women’s Semifinal: [1] Aryna Sabalenka (-182) vs. [3] Jessica Pegula (+148) features the world #1 against the player with the tour’s best record (45-12). Pegula cruised past Emma Navarro on Tuesday evening. Sabalenka handled Linda Noskova in the day session. The -182/+148 line suggests this will be competitive.
