Top seed Alexander Zverev has reached the quarter-finals of the US Open to become the only man to reach the last eight at all four Grand Slams this year.
The French Open winner advanced after a 6-2, 6-2, 7-6 (7-3) win over Italy's Luciano Darderi on Monday evening.
Zverev opened his US Open campaign with back-to-back five-set wins, but has now claimed two consecutive straight set wins.
"I thought my level was very consistent," Zverev said in his on-court interview.
"He started playing incredibly well in the third set. I barely saw anyone hit the ball as hard as he did, consistently for an entire set, so credit to him. He made it very difficult for me, but I'm happy to be in the quarter-finals and happy to be playing this way."
