Former champions Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer and Juan Martin del Potro are back at work on Labor Day in fourth-round matches at the 2017 US Open on Monday. Nadal returns to Arthur Ashe Stadium against unseeded Alexandr Dolgopolov. The No. 1 seed is bidding for his seventh US Open quarter-final appearance and first since winning the 2013 title. Dolgopolov is 1-8 against players ranked No. 1, posting his lone win over Nadal in a final-set tie-break at 2014 ATP World Tour Masters 1000 Indian Wells. Though he lost his first five matches and 10 sets against Nadal, Dolgopolov has beaten the Spaniard in two of their past three meetings, adding a grass-court win at 2015 London/Queen’s Club.

If this was the best match of Sam Querrey's career, the rest of the US Open field better take notice. The 17th seed was at his ruthless best on Sunday night, turning in a masterclass performance under the lights on Arthur Ashe Stadium.

It was the fastest match of the tournament thus far. He struck 55 winners, including 18 aces, and just eight unforced errors. With the win, Querrey will become the No. 1 American in the Emirates ATP Rankings for the first time since July 2013. He is the...

Anderson is surging towards a Top 20 return in the Emirates ATP Rankings after notching a trio of straight-set wins to open the tournament and a rather straightforward victory over Lorenzi. He extended his FedEx ATP Head2Head edge over the World No. 40...
The size of the fighter is irrelevant. It's the fighter's fight that makes all the difference. That has been the mantra of Diego Schwartzman throughout his career and he has put that on display for the world to see at the US Open. Schwartzman fought off a leg injury and a stern test from Lucas Pouille to reach his first Grand Slam quarter-final in New York on Sunday. The Argentine outlasted Pouille 7-6(3), 7-5, 2-6, 6-2 in two hours and 35 minutes, firing 44 winners including nine aces. The 25 year old was efficient on return as well, converting an impressive seven of nine break chances. At 5'7", Schwartzman is the shortest Grand Slam quarter-finalist since fellow 5'7" South American...
