On Monday, Andrey Rublev and Felix Auger-Aliassime had demons to fight when they stepped into court at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center on Monday.
Rublev's victory on Monday will put him into the 10th Grand Slam quarterfinals, where he hopes to win his career on a 9-9 straight record.
Rublev spent years in the Big Ten, winning two Masters 1000 titles, but he never had a breakthrough moment in Major.
Russia may not have a better chance to get rid of Schneid than this, as his potential opponents in the quarter are Alex de Minaur or Leandro Riedi.
Meanwhile, Auger-Aliassime played in the semi-finals at the 2021 U.S. Open, a 21-year-old man who swayed his tongue and the Montrealians would be part of the team of players who will carry the torch after retirement from the 3 giants.

Since then, Aliassime's career has been stopped and started, with injuries not consistent with tennis.
The Canadian's offensive tool, especially his serve, is elite, but his all-around game never catches up.
This turned him into a high, low floor player who could beat anyone on his day – as we saw in the last round of Alexander Zverev's victory over Alexander Zverev, but also lost to inferior opponents.
Rublev can also be spiraled in the game, but his multifaceted skills seem to be a good match for Auger-Aliassime's aggressive style.
Rublev and Auger-Aliassime have met eight times in their careers, with the Russians winning seven games.
We will see more consistent players as minor favorites on Monday.
