Serena and Venus Williams exited the women's doubles in the last eight
GAEL MONFILS battled hard in the New York heat to edge seventh seed Grigor Dimitrov in three tight sets and reach the last eight.
The Frenchman, seeded 20th, won through 7-5, 7-6 (8-6), 7-5 against the Bulgarian.
Elsewhere, Serena Williams took a medical timeout to have her right ankle re-taped and later double-faulted on the last two points as she and sister Venus lost 7-6 (7-5), 6-4 to Russian duo Ekaterina Makarova and Elena Vesnina in the doubles quarter-finals.
