In contrast to his previous early round slam appearances throughout his career, Alcaraz has been dominant and business-like across his opening two rounds at the US Open, sailing into the third round without even dropping serve, let alone a set. Alcaraz has breezed past Reilly Opelka and Mattia Bellucci and will be hoping for a similar performance against Darderi, who hadn't won a match at Flushing Meadows before this tournament.
Darderi is putting together a nice career - he's already won four ATP titles, but he's also never been to the R16 at a slam or Masters 1000 event, demonstrating he's still got a way to go before he can be classed amongst the game's elite. The Italian is coming off a solid third round run at Wimbledon and that's almost certainly where his US Open will come to an end too. Backing Alcaraz to prevail with Under 30.5 total games.
Head To Head
This will be the first career meeting between the pair.
Carlos Alcaraz Form
Alcaraz has registered a 56-6 record on the season and has been on fire since the clay swing as he looks to surpass rival Jannik Sinner for the World No. 1 ranking and US Open title in New York.
The Spaniard has won 32 of his last 33 matches coming into this clash, with his lone loss coming to Sinner in the final of Wimbledon.
Alcaraz has made the final of every tournament he's entered since the beginning of the clay swing, winning titles in Monte Carlo, Rome, Roland Garros, Queen's Club and Cincinnati.
It's been an efficient US Open for Alcaraz so far - he was untroubled in his opener against big-serving Reilly Opelka, prevailing 6-4, 7-5, 6-4, while he absolutely crushed Mattia Bellucci 6-1, 6-0, 6-3 in the second round.
That win was the fewest amount of games Alcaraz has dropped in his 17 completed US Open matches.
Luciano Darderi Form
It's been a great season for Darderi, who comes into this contest with a 27-19 record on the season and backing up his breakout year of 2024, where he reached a career-high ranking of No. 32.
The Italian is just two spots off that mark at the moment and this little run to the third round of the US Open will help him inch closer to a top 30 debut.
Darderi has picked up three ATP 250 titles on clay already this season, taking home the silverware in Marrakech, Bastad and Umag.
After making the third round of Wimbledon, the 23-year-old is also through to the last 32 at the US Open, defeating Rinky Hijikata and Eliot Spizzirri. Darderi had never previously won a main draw match at Flushing Meadows before this tournament.
