14:00 CET - Hello, and welcome to our coverage of the day's play at the 2026 US Open for September 8th. The singles tournaments are really starting to feel pointy now, with the quarter-finals getting underway on both the men's and women's sides. There will be two from each side today, with the stage to conclude on Wednesday.
We'll get going with a bang as women's top seed and title holder Aryna Sabalenka takes on this year's Wimbledon winner Linda Noskova in the early match on Arthur Ashe Stadium.
That is followed by Frances Tiafoe vs Alex Michelsen in the first of the men's quarters, and then a second all-American affair as Jessica Pegula takes on Emma Navarro past midnight.
Closing out the day, we have arguably the best match last, with defending men's champion Carlos Alcaraz meeting the red-hot Ben Shelton in a blockbuster clash.
