Recommended for Preparatory Grades
We have read that the 2021 US Open is underway. This tennis tournament started on 24 August and will end on 12 September.
As the tournament reaches the quarter-final stage, things are heating up.
In men’s singles, Serbian tennis star Novak Djokovic beat American player Jenson Brooksby to reach the round of 8. He is only 3 wins away from a Calendar Grand Slam (winning all four grand slams in the same calendar year). He will face Italian player Matteo Berrettini in the next round. Alexander Zverev is also through to the next round.
Moreover, 18-year-old Spanish player Carlos Alcaraz Garfia has also become the youngest man since 1963 to reach the round of eight of the US Open. He won a stunning victory over world No. 3 Stefanos Tsitsipas to reach the quarterfinals.
Women’s singles
