Dramatic Day Eight of U.S. Open: Medvedev Triumphs and Pegula Advances

Day eight of the U.S. Open saw significant drama with Daniil Medvedev and Jessica Pegula advancing to the quarter-finals. Matches were briefly halted due to a fire alarm. Jack Draper, Karolina Muchova, and others also secured their spots in the next round, intensifying the competition.

Day eight at the U.S. Open was nothing short of dramatic. Daniil Medvedev, the former champion, made quick work of Portugal's Nuno Borges, defeating him 6-0, 6-1, 6-3, and secured his spot in the quarter-finals. Medvedev will now face the winner of the upcoming clash between top-ranked Jannik Sinner and Tommy Paul.

A technical glitch caused by a fire alarm in the building housing the electronic line calling system briefly interrupted matches involving Beatriz Haddad Maia, Caroline Wozniacki, Daniil Medvedev, and Nuno Borges. The issue was promptly resolved, allowing the games to continue without further disruptions.

Britain's Jack Draper rallied to a convincing victory over Czech player Tomas Machac, winning 6-3, 6-1, 6-2. Jessica Pegula of the U.S. and Karolina Muchova also booked their places in the quarter-finals, adding to the day's excitement.
