- A hatched block means the outlet is affiliated with, or controlled by, a state.
Political lean describes where an outlet sits within the politics of its own country. It is never a position on a single global scale.
Political lean is comparable inside one country and not across them, which is why the bar groups by country first. Publicly funded broadcasters are not marked as state-linked.
The owner of each outlet is listed as a matter of record, not as a judgement about the outlet.
Carlos Alcaraz defeated American 20th seed Tommy Paul 6-4, 6-3, 6-4 to advance to the quarterfinals of the US Open. The match lasted approximately 2 hours and 20 minutes. Alcaraz, the 23 year old Spaniard and defending champion, has not dropped a set in four matches during this tournament. He will face Ben Shelton in the next round, as Shelton defeated Stefanos Tsitsipas 6-2, 6-3, 6-4 to secure his spot.
This performance marks a significant step in Alcaraz's return to competition after being sidelined for nearly five months due to a right wrist injury. Reports indicate he was away from the court for 139 days starting in April. Despite the layoff, Alcaraz has reached the quarterfinals in five of his six US Open appearances. Following the match, Paul noted that Alcaraz played at a completely different level, while Ben Shelton described the Spaniard's ability to play at such a high level after a long injury break as superhuman.
