Novak Djokovic broke yet another record as he reached the last four at the US Open.
The 36-year-oldโs straight-sets win over Taylor Fritz saw him into the last four of a grand slam for the 47th time, overtaking Roger Federerโs tally.
Meanwhile, Coco Gauff became the first American teenager since Serena Williams in 2001 to reach the semi-finals.
Here, the PA news agency looks back at day eight at Flushing Meadows:
Gauff dropped just two games as she blitzed Jelena Ostapenko 6-0 6-2 inside Arthur Ashe Stadium. The 19-year-old handed out a New York bagel in the first set to Latvian Ostapenko in only 20 minutes.
Novak Djokovic is still undefeated in the quarterfinals at the US Open.
