After day ten of the US Open ended with Andy Murray crashing out against Novak Djokovic,The Independent's Paul Newman discusses the two men's quarter-finals set to come on day 11.

Number two seed Roger Federer, who won the title five years in a row between 2004 and 2008, takes on the entertaining number 20 seed Gael Monfils. While Federer has not won a Grand Slam since Wimbledon 2012 (when he defeated Britain's Andy Murray) Newman argues that Federer has a good shot at reclaiming the US title after a six-year hiatus.
