Son Heung-Min's move from Tottenham Hotspur to Los Angeles FC has electrified the vibrant LA neighborhood of Koreatown, where fans say they still cannot believe the South Korean star was now a member of their beloved 'Black & Gold', Reuters reported.

At BiergartenLA, a German-Korean gastropub popular with LAFC supporters, staff and patrons said "Sonny-mania" had gripped the neighborhood just north of the team's BMO Stadium ahead of his home debut against San Diego FC on Sunday.

"It feels surreal - more like a World Cup vibe," said partner David Dong, according to Reuters.

"It is cool to see LAFC get this much attention and eyes. In the past it's only been toward the end of the year but these days it feels more like playoff energy. The hype is palpable."

Novak Djokovic has become the oldest man to reach the quarter-finals of all four Grand Slams in a single season, sealing his place in history with a straight-sets win over Jan-Lennard Struff at the US Open, Reuters reported.

The 38-year-old Serbian dominated 6-3, 6-3, 6-2, breaking serve six times and winning nearly 80 percent of his first-serve points. The victory marked his 64th Grand Slam quarter-final and keeps alive his bid for a record-extending 25th major title.

Though he received treatment for his right arm during changeovers, Djokovic showed little sign of slowing down, comfortably outclassing Struff, who was making his first appearance in the tournament’s last 16, according to Reuters.

Coco Gauff and Naomi Osaka's fourth-round U.S. Open showdown will serve as a welcome trip down memory lane for the two fan favourites, as they face off in a match made for prime time on Monday, Reuters reported.

Organisers could not have scripted it better for American fans, with a must-watch meeting between two charismatic former champions on the U.S. Labor Day holiday, six years after their memorable first meeting at Flushing Meadows.

The two faced off in the 2019 third round, where legions of domestic fans showed up to watch the then-15-year-old Gauff under the lights in her Arthur Ashe Stadium debut, fresh off her stunning run to the Wimbledon round of 16.

The then-defending champion and world number one made easy work of Gauff 6-3 6-0, but quickly comforted the young American as she dissolved into tears by her bench and urged her to come address the crowd, according to Reuters.

Jannik Sinner and Iga Swiatek proved they are only human at the U.S. Open on Saturday, showing that even the world's best players sometimes have to work things out on the fly when pure talent is not enough, Reuters reported.

Wimbledon champion Swiatek embodied the day's theme of triumph through adversity, clawing her way back from 5-1 down in the opening set against Anna Kalinskaya before grinding out a 7-6(2) 6-4 victory.

"I'm happy that I came back and kept ... figuring out and problem-solving," Swiatek said. "For sure, it wasn't an easy match."

The Pole was far from her sharpest in a scrappy, error-strewn contest. Nine breaks and 67 unforced errors by both players combined painted the picture of a match won through sheer bloody-mindedness, rather than sublime shot-making, according to Reuters.
