Coco Gauff is the latest to suffer an upset loss in this year's final major tournament

The 2024 US Open continues heating up in the final week. Top seeds are falling left and right, and Sunday was no different as reigning women's champion Coco Gauff was upset by fellow American Emma Navarro during the round of 16.
Navarro, the No. 13 seed, earned the 6-3, 4-6, 6-3 win while Gauff struggled with her serve and forehand. Gauff, the world No. 3, registered a total of 19 double faults, along with 60 unforced errors. Navarro lost in the first round of last year's tournament, but things are going much better for her now. She is set to take on Paula Badosa in Tuesday's quarterfinal round.
The round of 16 of the men's competition is happening without two of the world's top three men's players after No. 2 Novak Djokovic and No. 3 Carlos Alcaraz were upset on back-to-back nights. Without them, the American men's chances at potentially snapping a 21-year major drought have dramatically increased. The last American man to win a Grand Slam was Andy Roddick at the 2003 US Open.
No. 12 seed Taylor Fritz, No. 14 Tommy Paul and No. 20 Frances Tiafoe are still chasing that goal.
"If it's me who ends it, then that's like my life's dream basically, so it would mean everything to me," said Fritz in aninterview with CBS Sports.
Fritz reached the quarterfinals with a 3-6, 6-4, 6-3, 6-2 win over No. 8 Casper Ruud. He has never gone deeper in any Grand Slam, but he will be looking for the semifinals ticket when he faces world No. 4 Alexander Zverev. They met earlier this year at Wimbledon round of 16. It was an intense five-set battle that Fritz won from two sets down.
Meanwhile, Tiafoe advanced to the quarterfinals with a 6-4, 7-6 (7-3), 2-6, 6-3 win against Alexei Popyrin, who upset Djokovic in the third round. Tiafoe will now take on No. 9 Grigor Dimitrov on Tuesday. In order to join Fritz and Tiafoe in the quarterfinals, Paul will have to get through world No. 1 Jannik Sinner on Monday.
