The second round of the US Open continues today, with Jannik Sinner (23), Iga Swiatek (23) and Carlos Alcaraz (21) all taking to the court on a busy Thursday at Flushing Meadows.

07:36 CET - Well, well, well. Welcome back to the Tennis Tracker this morning, there has been an upset of seismic proportions at the US Open overnight.

2022 champion Carlos Alcaraz (21), the man who won both the French Open and Wimbledon this year, has been stunned in remarkable fashion in the second round, falling 1-6, 5-7, 4-6 to an inspired Botic van de Zandschulp (28).

The Dutchman played incredible tennis, but Alcaraz looked so far from his best, as he has since he lost in the Olympic final. A mind-blowing result which will shake this tournament up. One of the biggest upsets of all time?

Two-time US Open champ Naomi Osaka (26) was also dumped out, as Karolina Muchova (28) showed signs of her best form after recovering from major wrist surgery with a 6-3, 7-6(5) win.

It was far more plain sailing for Daniil Medvedev (28) and Caroline Wozniacki (34), however, with the pair moving through in straight sets.

23:53 CET - Plenty of tennis still to be played tonight in New York City with Tommy Paul (27) currently on court.

Later on at around 01:00 CET, Daniil Medvedev (28) takes on Fabian Marozsan (24), whilst Naomi Osaka takes on Karolina Muchova (28) at the same time.

Follow that game here.

We will bring you the best of the action from 06:00 CET.
