Stephen reacts to the first set of QF matchups being confirmed at the US Open after 4th round action on Sunday. Is Zverev the man to beat?
With Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic both out of the 2024 US Open, Alexander Zverev is now the man to beat in New York. Zverev, known for his booming serve and laser-focused groundstrokes, has all the tools to dominate the hard courts at Flushing Meadows. Having already been tested in high-stakes matches—including his heart-breaking loss in the 2020 US Open final—Zverev is more battle-hardened than ever. His recent form has been electric, showcasing not just power but a newfound mental toughness. With the two biggest contenders out of the picture, Zverev’s quest for his first Grand Slam title feels more within reach than ever before.
