Coric had been looking to build on the second-round upset win he had recorded over fourth seed Alexander Zverev on Wednesday. Anderson will look to reach the quarter-finals for the second time in New York when he faces Paolo Lorenzi on Sunday. The South African made his first Grand Slam quarter-final at Flushing Meadows two years ago with back-to-back wins over Dominic Thiem and Andy Murray (l. to Wawrinka)....
