Three months ago, Russian teenager, Andrey Rublev, broke into the top 100 and few weeks later, showed he was here to stay breaking into the top 50. Today, he becomes the youngest man since 2001 to reach the quarter finals at the US Open. His next hurdle is top seed Rafael Nadal. Can he pull off the biggest upset?

Madison Keys became the fourth American woman in the last 8 at Flushing Meadows causing an upset on fourth seed Elina Svitolina.
