US Open 2026 Day Nine Features Swiatek, Osaka, Andreeva, and More

Day nine of the 2026 US Open tennis tournament features key matchups including Iga Swiatek against Qinwen Zheng and Naomi Osaka facing Elena Rybakina. Matches take place at Armstrong and Ashe courts, showcasing top contenders in both women’s and men’s singles.

Maria Andreeva, a recent grand slam champion, meets Anastasia Potapova, who previously defeated Coco Gauff and Amanda Anisimova. Andreeva’s aggressive style contrasts with Potapova’s high-risk play, setting up a challenging contest.

Iga Swiatek, the 2022 champion, has yet to lose a set this tournament. Her opponent Qinwen Zheng advanced after a dramatic comeback against Madison Keys, making this a pivotal match.

Naomi Osaka, a two-time US Open winner, takes on Australian Open champion Elena Rybakina, a potential world number one. Osaka remains a formidable player capable of deep tournament runs despite recent challenges.

On the men’s side, 21-year-old Alexander Blockx faces Francisco Cerundolo after a strong third-round performance. Arthur Gea, also 21, competes against Botic van de Zandschulp who has already eliminated two seeded players.

Later, Karen Khachanov confronts Learner Tien, contrasting power with speed and touch. The day's men's matches also include top seed Alexander Zverev against Luciano Darderi.

Coco Gauff continues her pursuit of a second US Open title against No. 14 seed Iva Jovic. Gauff has won her first three matches in straight sets, while Jovic recently overcame Alexandra Eala in three sets.

Matches on September 7 start at 11 a.m. ET and are broadcast on ESPN and ESPN2, with streaming available on ESPN Unlimited and Fubo. The tournament continues with women's and men's singles quarterfinals scheduled for the following day.
