Tiafoe won his first round match in straight sets, while Stephens went out to 19th seed Haddad Maia 6-4 in the final set.
Eubanks also won his match in four sets. McDonald beat Felix AA in four sets too.
Swiatek, Rybakina and Muchova also advanced.

Her biggest weakness used to be her 2nd serve which used to be “just sit up and hit me”.

That was a tactical masterclass from Gauff.
Don't engage Ostapenko in her favourite game, which is hit the ball hard and harder. Instead, Gauff used an accurate, defensive ploy of hitting the ball long, with pace and topspin, to push Jelena back, and take her favourite counter-attacking punch out of the game. Once the rally went beyond five shots, Gauff was always favoured to win the point. Ostapenko was so starved of her favourite shot in the first set, that the Latvian started to snatch at it, and make errors in the second.
Gauff 6-0,6-2. On to the semi-finals.

Exciting match!
Shelton has one hulleva lefty serve, on first and second. Like his pal Eubanks, he goes for it on his second, so he gets lots of aces, and lots of double faults. Risk and reward. And what a forehand!
A semi-final against Djokovic has probably come a year too soon, but Shelton is clearly one for the future.

I am afraid he will have to be more economical against Djokovic who makes his opponents pay big time for unforced errors.
He will mature with game time and is definitely one for the future ...

Shelton got the media’s attention.
Overall, Shelton comes off like a kid foil in John Ritter comedy, leaving a trail of mayhem in his wake and flashing a goofy smile all the while. That he could justifiably be described as a brat, though, is the real growth.
Historically, that title has been reserved for the rich white kids who grew up at the country club – the ones who’ve long been able to get away with bucking convention. And yet it’s Shelton - a Black son of the South managed by Federer’s TEAM8 entertainment firm, the youngest American US Open finalist in 31 years - who has emerged as a super brat for the social media age, endorsed by the 1980s-era original himself. “This guy has got more upside than any other American I believe,” John McEnroe, told Eurosport earlier this year. “[He’s going to be the real deal.” Really, the notable thing they don’t appear to have in common at the moment is ego.

Keys has improved a lot since last year. She's become more consistent with her ground strokes, in particular.
However, the semi with Sabalenka revealed that Keys still has some weaknesses that the Belarussian exposed.
Keys second serve is weak, compared to Sabalenka, who fires it down with more pace. Both Keys and Sabalenka have some of the most powerful forehands in the game. However, Sabalenka is also deadly on the backhand, while Keys backhand is not particularly dangerous.
That said, Keys did well to take Sabalenka down to the wire.
2023-09-08 14:39:00
In reply to mikesiva
I think a relaxed CoCo will take care of Sabalenka with ease ..my only worry is that the weight of expectations of potentially winning her 1st slam will make it very challenging for young CoCo..
I’m hoping for the best though…Talent wise CoCo has a much higher ceiling…

In reply to imusic
Yes, on hard court, Medvedev has one of the best serves in the men's game. The Russian is poor on clay, average on grass, but on hard court he's up there with Alcaraz and Djokovic. Most times, when it comes to rallies, Alcaraz crushes the Next Gen, such as Zverev. But Medvedev matches him shot for shot in the rallies, to the point where the Spaniard resorted to serve-and-volley tennis, or drop shots to get out of the rallies. The Russian can run all day, and retrieve balls, and send them back even faster!
Medvedev really hurt Alcaraz in the rallies with that backhand down-the-line deep to the Spaniard's forehand time and time again.
Of course, Djokovic is a different kettle of fish, but it's not like Medvedev hasn't beaten him before. The head-to-head is 9-5, in favour of the Serb, of course, but the Russian has beaten Djokovic in the past, most notably in the final of the US Open a few years ago.

A very good comeback win for Gauff.
Since losing the French Open final to Swiatek last year, Gauff has made significant improvements on here weaknesses back then.
When she served, she often fell away to the side, which took away from her ability to generate power. No sign of that this tournament. Her service motion is more fluid, and she's been able to generate much more speed than she used to.
Under pressure, her forehand used to crack. Opponents would pepper the forehand, waiting for the cracks to appear. No sign of that this tournament. The forehand was a massive weapon.
There's a Big Four now.
Sabalenka
Swiatek
Gauff

Congrats to di Djoka.
24 grand slams and tying Margaret Court is a major achievement. Respect.
VERY HIGH QUALITY TENNIS ON DISPLAY FROM BOTH PLAYERS
The match hinges on that 2nd set tie breaker. Everybody, including his box knew that winning thst 2nd set was key for Djoka. The way his box celebrated at the end of that 2nd set you knew it was a major relief for them. Don’t think they believed their man could survive in 5 against Medvedev if it came to that.
