Top-ranked Nadal cruises into US Open quarter-finals


World number one Rafael Nadal advanced to the US Open quarter-finals for the seventh time on Monday by defeating Ukraine’s 64th-ranked Alexandr Dolgopolov 6-2, 6-4, 6-1.

The 15-time Grand Slam champion, who had not made the US Open last eight since capturing the 2013 title, will next face the winner of a later match between Russian teen Andrey Rublev and Belgian ninth seed David Goffin.

The 31-year-old Spaniard, who claimed his 50th US Open match victory, returned to the top ranking last month for the first time since 2011.
