#7 Qinwen Zheng vs. #2 Aryna Sabalenka
With two semifinals and a finals appearance over her past three runs at the U.S. Open, Aryna Sabalenka has been knocking on the door of a slam in the States for years. Her strongest quarterfinal opponent is still around at this tournament, Qinwen Zheng, who just recently cracked into the top ten this year. Their matchup would be the second consecutive year where the two met in the quarterfinals at the U.S. Open.

#1 Iga Swiatek vs. #6 Jessica Pegula
In what could be the matchup of the quarters, these two have met a whopping eight times since the start of 2022, with Iga Swiatek claiming six of them. Jessica Pegula is playing some of the best tennis of her career lately and has admitted that hard surface is her favorite. And while Swiatek has a championship at the U.S. Open, this surface is easily Pegula's best chance at an upset.
#26 Paula Badosa vs. #3 Coco Gauff
An upset of No. 8 Barbora Krejčíková in the second round has given Paula Badosa a chance to make her deepest run at a slam in her career. The wide-open draw quickly halts in the quarterfinal, where defending champion Coco Gauff awaits as one of the most dominant players thus far at the U.S. Open. She's dropped just one set across her first three matches and looks primed for another deep run in Flushing.

#15 Anna Kalinskaya vs. #5 Jasmine Paolini
Anna Kalinskaya could replace No. 4 Elena Rybakina, who was forced to withdraw in the second round due to injury. Jasmine Paolini fills the bottom half of this quarter, playing the best tennis of her career after only entering the top 30 in world rankings at the beginning of 2024. It looks like the rising Italian may have her best chance at a slam with this favorable draw.
