Gael Monfils books semi-final spot at US Open

Gael Monfils advances into the semi-finals of the US Open with a 6-4 6-3 6-3 victory over fellow Frenchman Lucas Pouille.

Gael Monfils has advanced into the semi-finals of the US Open after recording a 6-4 6-3 6-3 victory over fellow Frenchman Lucas Pouille on Tuesday afternoon.

Monfils, who has reached the last-four stage of the US Open for the first time in his career, has still not dropped a set in this year's competition.

It was a routine first set for the 30-year-old, who held all five of his service games, which allowed a break at 3-3 to become the deciding game in the opener.

Monfils then secured two breaks in the second set to claim a 6-3 success and move into a comfortable lead, before winning the third and what proved to be final set 6-3 after a break at 1-2.

The Frenchman will take on either Novak Djokovic or Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the semi-finals.
