Martina Navratilova voiced her frustration after Carlos Alcaraz and Ben Shelton were forced to compete in a grueling late-night quarterfinal at the US Open. Day 10 of the 2026 US Open, which was held on Tuesday, September 8, 2026, kicked off like other days at 11:30 am ET and featured two men’s best-of-five-set matches and two women’s best-of-three-set matches.
The first match featured Aryna Sabalenka taking on Wimbledon champion Linda Noskova, which the former won in a three-set thriller. The match was followed by a Frances Tiafoe vs Alex Michelsen clash, which went on for four hours and 39 minutes. It delayed the Jessica Pegula vs Emma Navarro face-off, which reached the third set.
