"Hello, hello, hello and welcome to another week at Flushing Meadows. We've got more last-16 action in the singles, with eighth seed Alex de Minaur already up and running on Louis Armstrong, facing the Swiss qualifier Leandro Riedi. Iga Swiatek's clash with Ekaterina Alexandrova will follow. Felix Auger-Aliassime will open up on Arthur Ashe against Andrey Rublev, but the real eye-catcher is Naomi Osaka's meeting with Coco Gauff, their first match at a grand slam since the 2020 Australian Open, when a 15-year-old Gauff shocked the defending champion. Here's to some more drama today."
"Rublev has a break point and he takes it after Auger-Aliassime goes long with a backhand. Rublev has a 7-1 record against Auger-Aliassime they last met at Hamburg in May and he's up 2-1 in the first set. De Minaur is looking rather comfortable over on Louis Armstrong. He's already 3-0 up in the second set against Riedi, breaking the Swiss player's serve twice. An overhead smash seals the second break."
"Felix Auger-Aliassime is here after trumping the third seed Alexander Zverev this is his first time in the fourth round of the US Open since his run to the semis in 2021. He thunders an ace down to hold his serve and go 1-0 up in the first set against Andrey Rublev."
Andrey Rublev took a break point when Felix Auger-Aliassime went long with a backhand and led 2-1 in the first set, holding a 7-1 head-to-head advantage.

Alex de Minaur won the first set against qualifier Leandro Riedi 6-4 and was already 3-0 up in the second, breaking serve twice and sealing a second break with an overhead smash. Naomi Osaka faces Coco Gauff in their first grand slam meeting since 2020.
