Anderson Crashes Querrey's Party In Late-Night Thriller

A first US Open semi-final berth on the line; for Kevin Anderson, a maiden Grand Slam semi-final spot up for grabs. On Tuesday, it was the South African who made the breakthrough with a 7-6(5), 6-7(9), 6-3, 7-6(7) triumph over Sam Querrey. What a resurgence it has been. An injury-ravaged 2016 saw the 31 year old start the season at No. 80 in the Emirates ATP Rankings.

Del Potro can prevent history from being made again as Federer and Rafael Nadal are one win from meeting for the first time at the US Open. The Swiss and Spaniard have been this close six times now, including in 2009, when del Potro defeated Nadal 6-2, 6-2, 6-2...

The result sees Mike Bryan move ahead of Daniel Nestor as the player with most doubles match wins with 1052 victories to his name. Nestor has 1051, while Bob Bryan has 1038.
