No.5 First round of the French Open

Anduhar 4-6/5-7/6-3/6-4/6-4 Thiem

After defeating Federer at ATP 250 Geneva two weeks before the French Open, the 35-year-old Anduhar continued his momentum at the French Open and staged another upset. He reversed the reversal in three sets after conceding two sets, beating two-time runners-up Thiem.

No.4 Second round of the US Open

Dezand Sirop 3-6/6-4/6-3/6-4 Rudd

Ruud, who was ranked 11th in the world at the time, was in excellent shape, reaching the final and winning three consecutive European Clay Tour tournaments after Wimbledon and reaching the quarter-finals at the subsequent two Masters tournaments in Toronto and Cincinnati. The Norwegian, who was unanimously optimistic about achieving a breakthrough in the US Open, was reversed in the second round by the qualifier and world no. 117 Dezan Desirop and was upset.

No.3 Fourth round of the Australian Open

Karatsev 3-6/1-6/6-3/6-3/6-3/6-4 Aliasim

At the 2021 Australian Open, Russian Karatsev won 8 consecutive matches from the qualifiers, defeating Schwartzmann, Aliassem, Dimitrov and other famous players respectively, and reached the final four in the first Grand Slam main tournament.

No.2 Wimbledon quarterfinals

Hulkach 6-3/7-6 (4)/6-0 Federer

It was the first time in his career that the 24-year-old from Poland had reached a Grand Slam quarterfinal, while Wimbledon's eight-time champion Federer, who was across the net, had 58 experiences in the quarterfinals of a Grand Slam. However, Hulkac continued his momentum of knocking out second-seeded Medvedev in five sets in the fourth round. The Polishman's composure in the face of pressure helped him go further, beating Federer in straight sets in the quarter-finals.

No.1 Third round of the US Open

Alcaraz 6-3/4-6/7-6(2)/0-6/7-6(5) Tsitsipas

In Umag in July, Alcaraz won the Tour title for the first time, but it was only in the third round at Arthur Ashe Stadium against world number three Tsitsipas that his potential was really realized. Alcaraz has never made it to the third round in a Grand Slam tournament. In the third round of the match against Tsitsipas, the world's 55th-ranked Spaniard regained his strength after losing 6-0 in the fourth set, and finally won the five-set battle in the seventh set to achieve a upset.
