US Open 2022 men’s quarter-final preview with a maiden Grand Slam winner guaranteed and Nick Kyrgios favourite
With 2014 champion Marin Cilic and 22-time major winner Rafael Nadal both bowing out of the US Open at the fourth-round stage, a maiden men’s Grand Slam champion is now guaranteed. Carlos Alcaraz needed five sets to battle past Cilic in a near 2.30am finish local time, and the 19-year-old Spaniard is the highest remaining seed — at No. 3 — left in the men’s draw heading into the last eight.
