2018 US OPEN Flushing, New York, USA | 27 August-9 September 2018 S-128, D-64 | $53 million | Outdoor Hard www.usopen.org DAY NINE MEDIA NOTES | Tuesday, 4 September 2018 MEN’S SINGLES QUARTER-FINALS (TOP HALF) ARTHUR ASHE STADIUM [3] Juan Martin del Potro (ARG) vs [11] John Isner (USA) Del Potro Leads 7-4 [1] Rafael Nadal (ESP) vs [9] Dominic Thiem (AUT) Nadal Leads 7-3 DAY NINE HIGHLIGHTS • History has been made on the 50th anniversary of the US Open. For the first time in the Open Era, eight different countries are represented by the eight US Open men’s singles quarter-finalists. A record was also set in the Round of 16 with 15 different countries represented. John Isner of the USA meets Juan Martin del Potro of Argentina on Tuesday with a chance to become the first American semi-finalist at the US Open since Andy Roddick in 2006. Roddick is also the last American man to reach a Grand Slam final at 2009 Wimbledon and to win a Grand Slam title at the 2003 US Open. All three droughts are the longest for American men in Grand Slam history (since 1877). • The 2011 US Open was the only Grand Slam quarter-final of Isner’s career entering this summer. He’s up to three after defeating Milos Raonic to reach the Wimbledon semi-finals and US Open quarter-finals. Isner is the No. 1 American for the seventh US Open in a row and has earned 30-or-more wins in nine straight seasons. Though he is 4-7 overall against Del Potro, Isner is 4-3 in their last seven meetings. The 6-foot-10 American defeated Del Potro in their last hard-court match on 30 March en route to the biggest title of his career at ATP Masters 1000 Miami. • While Isner has lost five sets at this event, Del Potro has not dropped any en route to his third straight US Open quarter-final and sixth overall in 10 appearances. Isner has spent 12 hours and five minutes on court at the US Open, while Del Potro’s matches have lasted a combined eight hours and 44 minutes. Del Potro, the 2009 champion and 2017 semi-finalist, is 33-8 at the US Open. He missed the event in 2010, 2014 and 2015 with wrist injuries. • Also on Arthur Ashe Stadium, three-time champion Rafael Nadal continues his title defense against first-time US Open quarter-finalist Dominic Thiem. All 10 prior meetings between Nadal and Thiem have come on clay courts, with the Spaniard taking a 7-3 lead by defeating the Austrian 6-4, 6-3, 6-2 in the Roland Garros final on 10 June. Nadal is the only player on the ATP World Tour to reach the quarter-finals of all four Grand Slam events this season. The 32-year-old also completed a calendar Grand Slam of quarter-finals at the US Open in 2008, 2010 and 2011. • Thiem is the first Austrian in the US Open quarter-finals since former World No. 1 Thomas Muster in 1996. Muster went 0-3 overall in US Open quarter-final matches, opening the door for Thiem to become the first Austrian to ever reach the US Open semi-finals. Thiem, the World No. 9, replaces then-No. 25 Lucas Pouille as Nadal’s highest- ranked opponent at the US Open since the 2013 final. Nadal has played 18 US Open matches during that time.

It is the 7th largest economy in the world. Bolstered by strong domestic demand and a growing middle class, Brazil weathered the economic downturn better than most major economies and grew 7.5% last year, compared to an estimated 2.3% growth in the G7 countries and 2.8% in the United States. During the past decade, the country maintained sound macroeconomic policies to control inflation without sacrificing economic growth. This kept the inflation rate at 5.9% in 2010, and unemployment at 7.1%. Interest rates, though high compared to the rest of the world, remained historically low at the Central Bank rate of 10.75%.
