Alexander Zverev is a Grand Slam semifinalist for the second time in as many majors this year.
Seeded fifth, Zverev advanced to the U.S. Open’s final four by rallying past No. 27 Borna Coric 1-6, 7-6 (5), 7-6 (1), 6-3. Zverev overcame 12 double-faults and 46 unforced errors.
The German’s next opponent will be the winner of Tuesday night’s match between No. 12 Denis Shapovalov and No. 20 Pablo Carreno Busta. Zverev reached a major semi for the first time at the Australian Open in January before losing to Dominic Thiem.
For the first time in 17 years at a tennis major, none of the men’s quarterfinalists at the Open has won a Grand Slam title.

It’s quiet at this year’s U.S. Open, where no fans are allowed, and Alexander Zverev wants it even quieter.
Zverev paused before serving in the third set of his quarterfinal match to ask ESPN courtside commentator Brad Gilbert to pipe down.
“You’re talking too loud, man,” Zverev said.
“Oh, sorry,” a chastened Gilbert replied.
“I can hear every single word you’re saying,” Zverev said.
Gilbert had just commented on Zverev’s nine double faults in the close match against Borna Coric.
With silence restored, Zverev hit a service winner to hold for 3-3 after the players split the first two sets.

American Jennifer Brady has become this year's first U.S. Open semifinalist by beating Yulia Putintseva 6-3, 6-2.
Seeded 28th, Brady dominated from the baseline in her first major quarterfinal. She took leads of 4-0 in the first set and 2-0 in the second against Putintseva, who won their two previous meetings.
Brady’s opponent Thursday will be winner of Tuesday night’s match between two-time major champion Naomi Osaka and Shelby Rogers, who is ranked 93rd.
The 25-year-old Brady is playing in her 13th Grand Slam event and is seeded in a major for the first time. She played for the UCLA Bruins as part of their 2014 NCAA championship team.

The quarterfinals at the U.S. Open are underway, with American Jennifer Brady facing No. 23-seeded Yulia Putintseva in the day's opening match.
