Carlos Alcaraz looked back to his irresistible best at the US Open, firing stunning winners to beat American Tommy Paul 6-4, 6-3, 6-4 on Arthur Ashe Stadium.

Aryna Sabalenka and Linda Noskova also advanced on Sunday, setting up a high-powered showdown between two Grand Slam winners. Their progress added another major attraction to a day built around big hitters.

American supporters had seven home favourites scheduled across the two singles draws. Early defeats for Paul and Taylor Townsend dampened the mood, but Frances Tiafoe then dismantled 2021 champion Daniil Medvedev.

Alex Michelsen also beat Tomas Martin Etcheverry, while Ben Shelton, Jessica Pegula and Emma Navarro produced strong evening performances to keep the American challenge alive.

I'm really happy to see where my level is right now.
