In what is without a doubt one of the biggest, if not the biggest, tennis upset of the year–Roland Garros and Wimbledon champion Carlos Alcaraz has just been eliminated from the US Open by World #74 Botic Van de Zandschulp. The Dutch was a former quarterfinalist at this tournament (2021) and had previously shown the ability to bother the top players, but he had never looked capable of produce a win of his magnitude on such a stage and had been struggling and dropping down the rankings for quite a while.
