In US Open, Rafael Nadal reached the Men's Singles quarterfinals defeating Marin Cilic in the fourth round. Nadal shook off dropping a set and powered past 2014 champion Cilic 6-3, 3-6, 6-1, 6-2.

Nadal dropped a set for the first time in this year's tournament but quickly responded by breaking to lead 3-1 in the third set and was on his way. Nadal is seeking his fourth title at Flushing Meadows and his 19th Grand Slam trophy overall. Roger Federer holds the men's record of 20.

In women's singles, top-ranked defending champion Naomi Osaka was ousted from the tournament by Belinda Bencic while Croatian Donna Vekic erased a match point to join the Swiss 13th seed in a quarter-final matchup. 

Belgian 25th seed Elise Mertens cruised past 141st-ranked US wildcard Kristie Ahn to book a quarter-final berth against 15th seed Bianca Andreescu of Canada.
