David Ferrer beats Janko Tipsarevic to reach US Open quarters
Last Updated: Tuesday, September 03, 2013, 09:29
Ferrer, seeded fourth, retained his composure after dropping the second set to win a gruelling slugfest that took nearly four hours to complete after being moved to one of the smaller showcourts because of a lengthy rain delay.
The tenacious Ferrer became the second Spaniard to reach the men`s quarter-finals on Monday, joining Tommy Robredo who had upset former world number one Roger Federer.
Another Spaniard, Rafa Nadal, was also playing Monday, in the night session.
Ferrer`s next opponent will be either French eighth seed Richard Gasquet or Canada`s Milos Raonic.
Although Ferrer has not won a grand slam, the 31-year-old baseliner has proven himself to be one of the most consistent players on tour.
He has reached the quarter-finals or better at each of the last eight majors and was a finalist at the French Open in June.
