Arthur Rinderknech has advanced to the round of 16 at the 2025 US Open, his deepest run at this Grand Slam, after defeating fellow Frenchman Benjamin Bonzi in four sets (4-6, 6-3, 6-3, 6-2) on Friday[1]. He will next face world No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz in Arthur Ashe Stadium, with first serve scheduled for Sunday, August 31st. Alcaraz holds a 3-0 head-to-head record over Rinderknech[1].
Rinderknech remarked after his third-round win that both players “were a bit tired and it was going to be which one of us two is going to find a way mentally to stay in the match. I was able to do it a little bit better today.” Looking ahead to facing Alcaraz, he said, “Pretty decent player. So, I’m going to rest and get ready.”[5]
This marks a notable milestone in Rinderknech’s career, having already picked up three top-20 wins this summer and a fourth after defeating No. 18 Alejandro Davidovich Fokina in the US Open second round[1]. Earlier this summer, Rinderknech also achieved his first top 5 win—defeating Alexander Zverev at Wimbledon—and reached his first semifinal of the year in Kitzbühel[6].
For the 2025 season, Rinderknech holds an ATP singles ranking of world No. 82[2][3], with a win-loss record of 21-26[2] and no singles titles this year. He has played a total of 47 matches in 2025, serving 448 aces and earning $742,588 in prize money so far[2]. His career prize money surpasses $4.4 million[2][3].
