The ninth day of action at the 2023 US Open in Flushing Meadows, New York, on Tuesday will mark the start of quarterfinal action. Two last-eight men's and as many last-eight women's matches are scheduled on the day.
Second seed Novak Djokovic will be the highest ranked player in action and will take on ninth seed Taylor Fritz. The three-time champion is seeking his first New York title in five years.
He dropped only 11 games in the first two rounds before recovering from two sets down to beat compatriot Laslo Djere in the third. Normal service resumed in the fourth, as the Serb beat Borna Gojo in straight sets, lossing only 11 games.

The other men's quarterfinal is an all-American bout between 10th seed Frances Tiafoe and the unseeded Ben Shelton. Tiafoe is looking to reach back-to-back Flushing Meadows quarterfinals, while Shelton is into his second Major quarterfinal, first in New York.
On the women's side, 20th seed Jelena Ostapenko will seek another seeded casualty - sixth seed Coco Gauff - after downing top seed and defending champion Iga Swiatek in the previous round. The loss also ended Swiatek's 75-week No. 1 reign.
In the other women's qurterfinal, Karolina Muchova takes on Sorana Cirstea. Muchova made the Roland Garros final this year and has dropped just one set in four matches this week. Cirstea, meanwhile, is into her second Major quarterfinal, but first since 2009 Roland Garros, having also dropped one set in four matches this week.
So, let's have a look at the schedule and order of play on the ninth day of the US Open.
