NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 Naomi Osaka and Iga Swiatek rolled into the quarterfinals at the U.S. Open<\/a>, showing off what once made each of them the top-ranked women\u2019s tennis player in the world.<\/p>\n

Osaka dominated Coco Gauff<\/a> 6-3, 6-2 in their highly anticipated showdown Monday in Arthur Ashe Stadium. Swiatek rallied from down 3-1 in the first set to beat Ekaterina Alexandrova 6-3, 6-1.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the beginning, I felt like she was playing really fast,\u201d said Swiatek, who is seeking her second U.S. Open title and seventh in a Grand Slam. \u201cI wanted to find my rhythm, but later on I really felt like I was in my bubble and in my zone.\u201d<\/p>\n

Osaka, in the quarterfinals at a major for the first time since 2021, is set to face No. 11 Karolina Muchova of the Czech Republic for a spot in the semifinals. Up next for Swiatek is either American Amanda Anisimova or Beatriz Haddad Maia<\/a> of Brazil.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe girls play late, so there\u2019s no point now for me to overthink who I\u2019m going to play,\u201d Swiatek said. \u201cI\u2019m just going to see who wins, and that\u2019s it. I\u2019ll prepare.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rublev is out of the US Open<\/p>\n

On the men\u2019s side, 25th-seeded Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime advanced by defeating Andrey Rublev 7-5, 6-3, 6-4 in a match in Arthur Ashe Stadium that took just over two hours.<\/p>\n

Auger-Aliassime won for just the second time in nine career matches against Rublev, the No. 15 seed who slammed his racket after losing a point in the second set.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs I won the first set, I felt like I was in control of the match,\u201d said Auger-Aliassime, who at age 25 is in the quarterfinals of a Grand Slam tournament for the fourth time. \u201dGood win considering our head-to-head, considering how good he is as a player.\u201d<\/p>\n

What else happened at the US Open on Monday?<\/p>\n

Alex de Minaur of Australia and Lorenzo Musetti of Italy advanced to the quarters by winning in straight sets. De Minaur is set to play Auger-Aliassime next. Venus Williams and Leylah Fernandez advanced to the quarterfinals<\/a> of women\u2019s doubles by beating the 12th-seeded duo of Ekaterina Alexandrova and Zhang Shuai.<\/p>\n

Who is on Tuesday\u2019s schedule at the US Open?<\/p>\n

Second-ranked Carlos Alcaraz<\/a> faces Jiri Lehecka in one men\u2019s quarterfinal. It\u2019s American Taylor Fritz against four-time U.S. Open champion Novak Djokovic in the other, with the winners meeting in the semifinals Friday. In the women\u2019s quarterfinals, Jessica Pegula<\/a> plays Barbora Krejcikova, and top-seeded Aryna Sabalenka goes up against Marketa Vondrousova.<\/p>\n
