So far, he has proven everyone who doubted him wrong. Having dropped just one set on his way to the quarterfinals, Alcaraz looks more like himself with each game.

Alcaraz dominated the match from start to finish, winning in straight sets. The score was 6-4, 6-3, 6-4, just an absolute masterclass showcasing the difference between the two stars.
The US Open always has some big stars in attendance, and McConaughey is a longtime fan of the sport. Once he saw the point, his stunned response showed he knew just how elite it was.
The point came in the very last game of the match, too. An emphatic way for the 23-year-old to shut the door on any hopes of an improbable comeback.
McConaughey’s reaction is unlikely to be limited to him either. The point and the match serves as a warning to the rest of the field that the two-time US Open winner is not lacking in any way.
Alcaraz will take on another American next in the form of Ben Shelton, who is garnering a lot of love during this tournament. If he’s at this level though, it’s hard to see Shelton being able to get a win.
