卫冕冠军卡洛斯·阿尔卡拉斯在美国网球公开赛第四轮击败汤米·保罗晋级后，于随后的ESPN采访中经历了一场意外发现1。他原本以为下一轮四分之一决赛的对手将是梅德韦夫或蒂亚福中的一位，却在采访时惊讶地得知这一判断有误1。当被告知真相时，阿尔卡拉斯反应道："Really? Oh my God, I thought I was playing Medvedev-Tiafoe"1。
阿尔卡拉斯的实际对手为第8号种子本·谢尔顿1。谢尔顿在与斯特凡诺斯·齐齐帕斯的比赛中直落两盘获胜1。
Defending champion Carlos Alcaraz learned an unexpected lesson about his own tournament bracket when he was informed during an ESPN interview that his next opponent would not be whom he expected 1. After advancing past Tommy Paul in the fourth round, Alcaraz had believed he would face either Daniil Medvedev or Frances Tiafoe in the quarterfinals, prompting his surprised reaction on camera: "Really? Oh my God, I thought I was playing Medvedev-Tiafoe" 1.
The actual opponent turned out to be Ben Shelton, the eighth seed, who defeated Stefanos Tsitsipas in straight sets to secure his spot in the quarterfinal matchup 1. Alcaraz's assumption about his path through the draw had overlooked the outcome of the Shelton-Tsitsipas match, leaving the top-seeded player momentarily unaware of who would be waiting for him in the next round 1.
