Carlos Alcaraz navigated a potential wardrobe malfunction to secure his place in the fourth round of the US Open. The Spaniard, known for his skill on the court, faced Wu Yibing of China and won decisively with a score of 6-3, 6-4, 6-1 in a match lasting two hours and 19 minutes.

The match was not without its distractions; Alcaraz’s baggy sleeveless top drew attention for occasionally revealing more than intended. This prompted commentary from former player Genie Bouchard, who humorously advised on social media, "Love you Carlos but we’ve got to put the nip away."

To address the issue, Alcaraz opted for a skin-tight vest underneath, allowing him to focus on his performance without concern. After the match, he reflected on his comeback after a four-month hiatus due to a wrist injury, stating, "I think today was a really high rhythm, the way he played was unbelievable."

Alcaraz expressed satisfaction with his game:

I played aggressive, I played smart in the toughest moments which I’m really happy about. Could be better, but I’m proud of the performance today. To be honest I’m better than I thought.

Looking ahead, Alcaraz will face Tommy Paul, the former Queen’s Club champion, in the next round. Alcaraz acknowledged the challenge, noting, "He’s going to play at home which is going to be an advantage for him. But hopefully he will be a bit tired from today’s match."
