Jannik Sinner and Daniil Medvedev are strong favorites to win their fourth-round matches Monday and set up a U.S. Open quarterfinal rematch of Sinner’s victory in the Australian Open final, according to BetMGM Sportsbook. The top-ranked Sinner is -650 in his match against No. 14 Tommy Paul, who is +400. Medvedev, the No. 5 seed and 2021 U.S. Open champion, is -800 against unseeded Nuno Borges, who is listed at +500. Women’s No. 1 Iga Swiatek is at -900 for her fourth-round match against No. 16 Liudmila Samsonova, while a matchup of past French Open finalists has Karolina Muchova (-150) favored against No. 5 seed Jasmine Paolini (+115).
Jessica Pegula, the No. 6 seed, plays No. 18 Diana Shnaider to open the day session at Arthur Ashe Stadium, with their match scheduled to begin at noon EDT. The winner of that match gets the winner of the Swiatek-Samsonova match. Medvedev and Borges then follow for their fourth-round match. The two No. 1 seeds are in action for the night session on Ashe. The women play first at 7 p.m., with Sinner and Paul to follow. Play in Louis Armstrong Stadium begins at 11 a.m. with the Muchova-Paolini match. They will be followed by No. 25 Jack Draper against Tomas Machac, and then two-time U.S. Open runner-up Caroline Wozniacki against No. 22 seed Beatriz Haddad Maia. The all-Australian fourth-round match between No. 10 Alex de Minaur and Jordan Thompson wraps up the Armstrong schedule in a match that won’t begin before 5 p.m.
Defending U.S. Open women’s champion Coco Gauff was eliminated with a 6-3, 4-6, 6-3 loss to No. 13 Emma Navarro. That ended the No. 3-seeded Gauff’s 10-match winning streak at Flushing Meadows and was her second loss in a row against Navarro in a Grand Slam tournament. Navarro advanced to face No. 26 seed Paula Badosa in the quarterfinals. No. 4 Alexander Zverev, the 2020 U.S. Open runner-up, and No. 12 Taylor Fritz set up a quarterfinal meeting with four-set victories, while No. 9 Grigor Dimitrov went five to get by No. 6 Andrey Rublev in the first men’s matchup of the tournament between top-10 seeds.
