Arthur Ashe Stadium hosts a blockbuster as Carlos Alcaraz takes on Ben Shelton in the US Open 2026 quarterfinals on Tuesday night. Alcaraz, the defending champion and No. 2 seed, arrives after dropping just one set in four rounds, while Shelton, the No. 8 seed and highest-ranked American man, has powered into the last eight with growing confidence. The winner will meet either Frances Tiafoe or Alex Michelsen in the semifinals. Check the prediction, head-to-head record and live streaming details for Carlos Alcaraz vs Ben Shelton match below.Â
This is a fascinating clash of rhythm against raw power. Alcaraz has looked sharp on his return from a right wrist injury, beating Tommy Paul 6-4, 6-3, 6-4 in the fourth round. His movement, ability to change direction and knack for turning defence into attack make him difficult to pin down.
Shelton arrives with plenty of belief. He dismantled Stefanos Tsitsipas 6-2, 6-3, 6-4 and did not face a break point, producing the kind of clean, aggressive tennis that can make any opponent uncomfortable. His left-handed serve will test Alcaraz, particularly in a night-session atmosphere expected to favour the American.
Carlos Alcaraz vs Ben Shelton Head-To-HeadÂ
The head-to-head is in Alcaraz’s favour at 3-0, with wins over Shelton in Toronto in 2023, the 2024 Laver Cup and the 2025 French Open. But this is Shelton’s home Grand Slam, and his improved all-round game makes the old numbers less decisive.
 Alcaraz vs Shelton Winner Prediction
Shelton has enough firepower to make this a serious test, and a fast start could put Alcaraz under pressure. Over five sets, though, the Spaniard’s consistency, movement and ability to absorb power should tell.
Prediction: Carlos Alcaraz to win in four sets.
