Carlos Alcaraz vs Tommy Paul – Live streaming, TV channel, where & how to watch: US Open 2026
Carlos Alcaraz leads 6-2 against Tommy Paul
Defending champion Carlos Alcaraz of Spain and USA’s Tommy Paul meet again on Sunday afternoon at the Arthur Ashe Stadium in the ongoing US Open, and this one has a bit of history behind it.
The defending champion beat the American in straight sets at the Australian Open back in January, though Paul made him work for it across three tight sets. Now, the American gets a shot at payback on home soil in the pre-quarterfinals.
Alcaraz has looked mostly sharp through three rounds in New York, but he’s had a couple of shaky moments along the way, including a nervy display against Yibing Wu, where he committed 33 unforced errors. Paul, meanwhile, has had to grind through every single match he’s played here, needing five sets to get past 15th seed Alexander Bublik of Kazakhstan in the third round.
Alcaraz leads the head-to-head 6-2 overall, but Paul has had his moments in this rivalry too. He’s beaten Alcaraz twice before, once in Montreal back in 2022 and again in Toronto in 2023.

Paul also enters this one on the back of a big win over top seed Alexander Zverev of Germany at the Cincinnati Open just last month — a result that shows he’s capable of raising his level against the very best.
