NEW YORK (AP) — Next up for Carlos Alcaraz at the U.S. Open is ... not who he thought it was.
Alcaraz was surprised to learn during an interview on ESPN after his victory Sunday that his quarterfinal match would be against either Ben Shelton or Stefanos Tsitsipas.
The defending champion visited the set after beating Tommy Paul in his fourth-round match. Andy Roddick, the 2003 U.S. Open champion, asked Alcaraz about the challenges either player would present.
A confused Alcaraz asked him to repeat the question.
"You're either going to play Shelton or Tsitsipas," Roddick said. "Maybe just a word on both of them and the challenges ..."
