Next up for Monfils is Spaniard Pablo Andujar, a winner earlier in the day over Kazakh Alexander Bublik. Andujar is through to the fourth round of a Grand Slam for the first time at age 33.

Rublev Battles Past Kyrgios In Hard-Hitting US Open Affair
Two years ago when he was 19, Andrey Rublev became the youngest US Open quarter-finalist since a 19-year-old Andy Roddick in 2001. And on Saturday evening, the Russian moved to within one victory of reaching the last eight at Flushing Meadows once again.
In a hard-hitting match, Rublev squeaked past Nick Kyrgios and the Aussie's 30 aces 7-6(5), 7-6(5), 6-3 to reach the fourth round after one hour and 51 minutes. The 21-year-old upset No. 8 seed Stefanos Tsitsipas in the first round.
Rublev, who has not advanced past the third round at another Grand Slam championship, has enjoyed a resurgent month on the ATP Tour. At the Western & Southern Open, the two-time Next Gen ATP Finals qualifier defeated Roger Federer for the biggest win of his career. And the 2017 Umag champion has not suffered a letdown in New York, crushing groundstrokes relentlessly to reach the second week.
In the first set, both players dominated with their serve, with neither man earning a break point. And in the tie-break, errors cost Kyrgios dearly. The Aussie made errors he had not been making throughout the first 12 games, including a miss on a sitting backhand volley.
Kyrgios ripped a backhand down the line return at 5/6 that missed by centimetres — if by that much — to give Rublev the lead in the pair’s second FedEx ATP Head2Head meeting. Kyrgios triumphed in three sets last year in Moscow.
The decisive moment in the match came in the second-set tie-break. Kyrgios got off to a much better start, taking a 4/0 lead. But Rublev maintained his focus and with a big return on his first set point, he forced an error from the No. 28 seed. The World No. 43 earned the match's only break in the third set and rode that to a victory.
Rublev will face No. 24 seed Matteo Berrettini for a spot in the quarter-finals. The Italian battled past #NextGenATP Aussie Alexei Popyrin 6-4, 6-4, 6-7(3), 7-6(2) after three hours and 35 minutes.
Before Wimbledon this July, Berrettini had never reached the fourth round of a major. But now, the 23-year-old has done so at two consecutive Slams.
Berrettini showed his resilience in the fourth set, as it appeared Popyrin had seized all the momentum. The 20-year-old broke for a 6-5 lead after a 10-deuce game. But instead of showing disappointment, Berrettini dug deep to force a tie-break and then he closed out the match, striking 57 winners across the four sets.
Did You Know?
Rublev advanced to his first ATP 500 final last month in Hamburg, where he fell against Georgian Nikoloz Basilashvili in the championship match.

Andujar: From Three Elbow Surgeries & Considering Retirement To The US Open Fourth Round
World No. 70 Pablo Andujar arrived in New York with just two tour-level wins on hard courts this season. So by reaching his first Grand Slam fourth round at the US Open on Saturday, the Spaniard defied the odds. But that feat in and of itself is nothing compared to what the 33-year-old has been through over the past several years.
As recently as last February, Andujar was outside the Top 1,800 in the ATP Rankings after undergoing three elbow surgeries over a span of 13 months — from March 2016 to April 2017 — with three different doctors.
“When I made the [decision to undergo the] third surgery, I said to myself and to my wife, ‘If this doesn’t go well, I will retire. It’s been too much time trying every month with the physios, with the doctors. It’s not helping, it’s not improving. So this is my last chance,’” Andujar told ATPTour.com.
The Spaniard's first two surgeries targeted a tendon. Medical imagery showed that his elbow tendon was “very bad” and “not normal," Andujar said.
“We probably focussed on the tendon and maybe from the first time it was the nerve," Andujar said. “If we could go now four years ago, then I would do things differently. But we didn’t know that."
But a new doctor Andujar saw told him they would focus on a nerve in his elbow for the third surgery, reinserting it from the back of his elbow to the upper part of his elbow, making Andujar less nervous about going under the knife again.
“It was different,” Andujar said. “In a way I had some faith and thought, ‘Okay, this man is telling me something different, so at least I will try to get it and hopefully it goes well.’”
The surgery worked, but it wasn't as if everything was back to normal immediately. There was still plenty of uncertainty involved.
“I was fortunate. I was lucky that everything went well. Of course there were eight or nine months until I played once again in competition... in 2018," Andujar said. I was feeling [it] a little bit, but I think I was competitive once again.”
The former World No. 32 was happy to spend a lot of time with his family and friends while he was away from the court, as he didn’t get to enjoy those opportunities as often during the more than a decade that he had already spent as a professional. The pain in his elbow was not preventing him from living a normal life.
But upon his return in January 2018, Andujar lost five of his first six matches at all levels. However, in just his eighth tournament in 18 months, then-World No. 598 Andujar won an ATP Challenger Tour event held at Juan Carlos Ferrero’s academy in Alicante, Spain. The next week, at the Grand Prix Hassan II, an ATP 250 event, Andujar became the lowest-ranked tour-level titlist since then-World No. 550 Lleyton Hewitt at Adelaide in 1998.
“They are both amazing,” Andujar said of his run here in New York and his ATP 250 triumph last year. “But Marrakech, I was not back on the [ATP] Tour yet. I was practising already a little bit, but my ranking was so low. I would say this one is unbelievable, it’s amazing, but I [am] already on the circuit. I am No. 70 in the world, I am playing. I am competitive again. In Marrakech I was not. That’s the big difference.”
Since that triumph, Andujar has won five ATP Challenger Tour titles — including another victory in Alicante — and he also made the final in Marrakech in 2019. But perhaps his performance at the US Open, where he had never previously advanced past the second round, has been one of the most impressive of all. He lost only nine games against Alexander Bublik on Saturday.
“He’s great. He was playing great tennis,” Bublik said. “He outlasted me in all the points in the match. He was returning everything, being super solid, passing me when I was going to volley. He played great.”
It's been a dream performance for the Spaniard, capturing seven consecutive sets to battle through to the fourth round. If you would have predicted this run before the tournament, even Andujar may not have agreed.
“Honestly I think I wouldn’t believe you,” Andujar said. “It’s unbelievable. It’s amazing. For me it’s something that I don’t realise yet.”
Andujar’s idol, Ferrero, reached the final of the US Open in 2003. And the former World No. 1 had plenty of nice things to say about his countryman after the four-time ATP Tour champion beat Bublik.
“He is a super-nice person and super worker and I always had and have very good words about him. I am so happy seeing him having this result,” Ferrero told ATPTour.com. “[It is] super motivational and people from now on can believe that after [getting] through injuries all can come back to a normal way of work and results.”
“Somebody like this talking in that way about me?” Andujar said. “I have no words.”
The Spaniard doesn’t need any. At the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, his tennis has been doing the talking for him. He’ll hope to keep that going in the Round of 16 against Gael Monfils or Denis Shapovalov.

Saturday Preview & Schedule: Nadal Ready To Rock
Rafael Nadal is known for always being on the go. But after receiving a walkover in his second round at the US Open, the Spaniard has been forced to sit without playing a live point since Tuesday. The second seed will be eager to hit the court once again as he headlines third-round action on Saturday, joined by sixth-seeded German Alexander Zverev, No. 13 seed Gael Monfils of France and No. 28 seed Nick Kyrgios of Australia.
Nadal takes on South Korean Hyeon Chung, who is enjoying a successful comeback after missing five months this season with a back injury. Chung, the inaugural Next Gen ATP Finals champion in 2017, scored back-to-back five-set wins this week to reach the third round. He won the first tournament of his comeback earlier this month at an ATP Challenger Tour event in Chengdu. Having beaten Novak Djokovic and Alexander Zverev en route to the semi-finals of the 2018 Australian Open, Chung knows what it takes to excel at Grand Slams.
But what he’s yet to excel at is mastering Nadal. The Spaniard leads their FedEx ATP Head2Head rivalry 2-0 and won all four sets they’ve played. Nadal will also be the fresher of the two for their showdown. Chung has spent a minute under seven hours on court this week, in addition to his three qualifying matches last week, while Nadal required just over two hours to defeat Aussie John Millman on Tuesday. He hasn’t been in action since then due to Aussie Thanasi Kokkinakis withdrawing from their second-round match with a shoulder injury, but did manage to save the day for a young fan off the court on Friday.
Zverev will look for a shorter stay on court when he meets Slovenian Aljaz Bedene, who is competing in the third round of the US Open for the first time. The sixth seed added to his reputation as a fifth-set expert, prevailing in consecutive five-setters this week against Moldovan Radu Albot and #NextGenATP American Frances Tiafoe. Zverev holds a 3-0 lead against Bedene in their FedEx ATP Head2Head rivalry, including a convincing win at this year’s Australian Open, and will need to replicate that effort to remain fresh for the second week.
“I'm just trying to regain my full confidence. It's about going match by match for me. It's about doing the best I can for now,” said Zverev before the tournament started. “It's the first time in a few years where I'm not a favorite in any way at a Grand Slam and it takes some pressure off, as well. It's a different mindset for me now.”
Two of the flashiest players on tour square off for the first time when Monfils takes on #NextGenATP Canadian Denis Shapovalov. The Frenchman is back in the Top 15 for the first time in two years after outstanding results this season that include a title in Rotterdam (d. Wawrinka) and semi-final finish at the Masters 1000 event in Montreal. Meanwhile, Shapovalov has been finding his form again after beginning to work last week with former Top 10 player Mikhail Youzhny. The 20-year-old reached his first semi-final since March in Winston-Salem and hasn’t dropped a set so far this week.
“I'm a big fan of his. He's been so exciting to watch from when I was super young. I've always seen him come out with crazy points, crazy hot shots. He's so athletic on the court. I think he's one of the best athletes in the world in any sport,” Shapovalov said of Monfils. “He can really do everything. He can play aggressive, he can stay in the rallies, he's got a big serve. It’s going to be a tough match.”
Kyrgios closes out the evening session against Russian Andrey Rublev. Both men have been in top form during the North American hard-court swing, with Kyrgios prevailing at the Citi Open (d. Medvedev) and Rublev defeating Roger Federer to reach his first ATP Masters 1000 quarter-final in Cincinnati. The US Open holds extra weight for Rublev as the venue where he announced his arrival on Tour, coming through qualifying to reach the quarter-finals in 2017, while Kyrgios looks to reach the second week at this event for the first time.
“He's a young, fearless player who has been playing really well the last couple weeks,” Kyrgios said. Obviously he had that win over Roger. He plays big from both sides. He's a great player. He's going to have a great future.”
Other notable matches on Saturday include No. 14 seed John Isner of the United States taking on former US Open champion and No. 22 seed Marin Cilic of Croatia, while #NextGenATP Aussie Alexei Popyrin meets No. 24 seed Matteo Berrettini of Italy.

Medvedev Wins Late-Night Thriller At US Open
As the clock struck midnight, Daniil Medvedev wrapped up Day 5 at the US Open with a highly entertaining victory over Feliciano Lopez.
A physical clash from first ball to last, Medvedev outlasted Lopez 7-6(1), 4-6, 7-6(7), 6-4, after three hours and 19 minutes of hard-hitting tennis. The World No. 5 equalled his best result at a Grand Slam, having also reached the Round of 16 at the Australian Open this year. It marks his first second-week appearance in New York.
It was a war of attrition as Medvedev fought past Lopez in a roller-coaster affair that concluded at 12:04am on Louis Armstrong Stadium. He fired 55 winners, including 27 aces, while surviving 85 net approaches by the Madrid native.
The drama was palpable on Louis Armstrong Court and the New York crowd got firmly behind Lopez as the match wore on. Despite squandering a 5-3 lead and dropping the opening set in a tie-break, the Spaniard immediately snatched the second set with a break in the first game.
Lopez would draw level just 38 minutes later, raising his arms in the air and calling on the New York faithful to rally behind him. You could cut the tension with a knife as the third set entered a tie-break, with the Spanish veteran saving a set point with a lunging volley. But two points later, Medvedev finally got the better of Lopez to seize the set.
The Russian would not look back from there, sprinting to a 3-2 lead in the fourth set with a perfect baseline-to-baseline backhand lob. And h would seal the victory on his first match point with a backhand winner.
Medvedev closes out the month of August with a staggering 17-2 record, also including final appearances at the Citi Open in Washington, Coupe Rogers in Montreal and title at the Western & Southern Open in Cincinnati. He owns a tour-leading 47 match wins - and 33 on hard courts - this year.
Meanwhile, on Grandstand, Dominik Koepfer extended his magical run another day. Koepfer stunned 17th seed Nikoloz Basilashvili 6-3, 7-6(5), 4-6, 6-1 for his first Top 20 win and first appearance in the second week of a Grand Slam.
The German became just the second qualifier to reach the Round of 16 at the US Open since 2009, joining Denis Shapovalov (2017). Just a year ago, Koepfer was sitting at No. 243 in the ATP Rankings and he is now projected to crack the Top 100 with his deep run in New York.
"It's unbelievable," said Koepfer after the match. "It's my first time here and I've been here for two weeks now. Same dinner spots before every match, but I like winning so I guess we have to keep it going.
"I thought I just competed really well for four sets. I fought for every ball and every point. I guess it paid off in the end."
Under the tutelage of former pro Rhyne Williams, Koepfer is soaring. He claimed his lone ATP Challenger Tour title on the grass of Ilkley in June, before reaching the second round of Wimbledon. Now, he has taken it one step further at the US Open.

Novak's Dozen: Djokovic Reaches US Open Fourth Round For 12th Time
Top-seeded Serbian Novak Djokovic produced his best match of the week against American Denis Kudla on Friday at the US Open, hitting plenty of flashy winners under the lights to reach the fourth round with a 6-3, 6-4, 6-2 win.
Djokovic improved to 2-0 in his FedEx ATP Head2Head rivalry with Kudla. He also earned his 72nd victory in New York, moving past Pete Sampras and into fifth place for most US Open match wins in the Open Era.
Awaiting Djokovic is a blockbuster showdown with former US Open champion and No. 23 seed Stan Wawrinka of Switzerland, who prevailed in straight sets earlier in the day over Italian Paolo Lorenzi. The Serbian leads their FedEx ATP Head2Head rivalry 19-5 and prevailed in two of their three New York showdowns. However, Wawrinka won their most recent battle in the 2016 US Open final.

Five Things To Know About Dominik Koepfer
The Cinderella run continues for Dominik Koepfer at the US Open. After toppling Reilly Opelka, the German upset 17th seed Nikoloz Basilashvili to reach the second week of a Grand Slam for the first time.
In reaching his first major Round of 16, Koepfer became just the second qualifier to do so in New York since 2009. He will next face either Daniil Medvedev or Feliciano Lopez on Sunday.
ATPTour.com takes a look at five things to know about the 25-year-old.
1. The German is enjoying a sudden breakthrough in 2019.
After struggling to find his form as a professional in his first two seasons, Koepfer is discovering the right formula in 2019. He claimed his maiden ATP Challenger Tour title on the grass of Ilkley, UK, before reaching the second round in his Grand Slam debut at Wimbledon.
Koepfer is catapulting up the ATP Rankings this year, projected to break into the Top 100 of the ATP Rankings after a successful fortnight in New York. And to think, just one year ago he was sitting at No. 243.
"The most important thing is my belief," Koepfer said. "The belief that I can hang with the top guys. Last year, that wasn't there. Getting the win in Ilkley helped a lot to believe in my game and my skills. And I have a much better serve now."
2. Koepfer credits much of his success to coach Rhyne Williams.
Finding the right coach can often change everything for a player who is rising the ranks on the Challenger circuit. With Williams in his corner, Koepfer has redefined his on-court game and off-court approach. The pair teamed towards the end of the 2018 season and the decision has paid dividends. More mentally focused and able to channel his aggression, he is making the most of his newfound opportunities this year.
"He's definitely been there before and been crazy on court too," Koepfer said of Williams. "That's where I was struggling with a bit mentally. He sees the game really well. We've been working on little things every day in practice and it's been great so far."
With @RhyneWilliams in his corner, @DominikKoepfer is soaring towards the Top 100.

But can they keep it together on camera? The struggle is real. pic.twitter.com/CUQ4fYL1FK
3. He was an NCAA All-American at Tulane University.
But Koepfer says he wasn't very good when he first arrived.
"I went to college, but wasn't very good. I would say I was pretty terrible the first year. But I started to work my way up."
The German eventually turned it around, earning the No. 1 individual college ranking during his junior season and claiming All-American honours on two occasions. He would graduate with a degree in finance. After learning to adapt to life after college, it's safe to say the 25-year-old is a late-bloomer on the pro scene.
4. He didn't commit to tennis until age 16.
Where most players begin their professional journeys at a young age, Koepfer is an exception. He grew up playing tennis, golf and skiing and says he didn't pick up a racquet more than twice a week before age 16.
"Then I had a run at the German Championships and that's where I started picking it up more. But still, that was only three or four times a week then. That was one thing that was a little different from other guys. Where I started was completely different."
5. He's become a gym rat under Williams.
Koepfer also credits his 2019 breakthrough to a more dedicated regimen in the gym and a committed diet. He says that the transition from college to the pros taught him that it was essential to pay more attention to his body.
"The first year as a pro was different. I had bad habits from college, eating whatever I wanted. I realized that to compete with the top guys, you have to be fit and ready to compete every day. Things definitely changed over the past year."
"He's worked his butt off every day, making great decisions off the court especially," added Williams. "He's a beast in the gym and eats the right foods."
