Lucas Pouille of France, left, shakes hands with Rafael Nadal of Spain after Pouille outlasted Nadal in a five-set thriller in the fourth round of the U.S. Open on Sunday. “It’s my first match on the center court, against Rafa,” Pouille said after the match. Anyone who expected the fourth-seeded Nadal to cruise into the quarterfinals quickly realized things weren’t going to go according to plan. 10 Monfils, giving France three members of the men’s quarterfinals at the U.S. Open for the first time in 89 years. 26 Jack Sock, 6-3, 6-3, 6-7 (9-7), 6-2.
