Former champion Juan Martin del Potro became the lowest ranked player in 25 years to reach the US Open quarterfinals. Del Potro will now await the winner between third seed Swiss Stan Wawrinka and Ukraine's Illya Marchenko. I wish Dominic a quick recovery as he has a great future," said 27-year-old del Potro. Del Potro was a break to the good again at 2-1 in the second set before Thiem began to flag. No man ranked as low as del Potro has ever made the final of a major.
