Mikhail Youzhny booked his place in the last eight of the U.S. Open for only the second time as he saw off the challenge of Spain's Tommy Robredo. The Russian world number 14 took just over three hours to beat his unseeded opponent 7-5 6-2 4-6 6-4 in Louis Armstrong Stadium at Flushing Meadows in New York. Youzhny also beat Robredo at this stage in the 2006 U.S. Open and fired 50 winners on his way to victory. The first set went with serve until the eleventh game when Youzhny broke Robredo and held his own to take it 7-5. Youzhny gained a quick break at the start of the second set causing his opponent to smash his racquet on the floor in frustration. He quickly wrapped it up 6-2. Robredo hit back in the third set and secured it with a solitary break of serve, but normal service was resumed in the fourth as the Russian took it by the same margin. Youzhny will play Switzerland's Stanislas Wawrinka in the quarterfinal after he beat American Sam Querrey in an epic encounter. Warinka finally triumphed 7-6 6-7 7-5 4-6 6-3 in a match that lasted four hours and 28 minutes. His win means there are no more American players left in the men's singles draw. ...
