DAY NINE HIGHLIGHTS

 It’s been more than 33 years since lifted La at Roland Garros. The trophy itself is symbolic of a golden era in French , when , , and Rene Lacoste combined to capture 18 major singles championships. That was nearly a century ago, and though Noah remains the last Frenchman to win a men’s singles title, three modern-day musketeers are rewriting history at the 2016 US Open. No. 9 seed Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, No. 10 seed Gael Monfils and No. 24 seed Lucas Pouille will play inside Stadium on Tuesday, marking the first time in the Open Era that three Frenchmen have reached the quarter-finals of the same Grand Slam event. , and Pierre Pellizza were the last trio to do so at Roland Garros in 1947, and it hasn’t happened in New York since the 1927 US Championships featured Borotra, Brugnon and Lacoste in the quarter-finals. One year earlier at Forest Hills, Borotra, Cochet and Lacoste advanced to the 1926 US Championships semi-finals, marking the last time that more than one Frenchman was among the final four players at this event. It occurred most recently at a major when Arnaud Clement rallied from two sets down to beat Sebastien Grosjean in the 2001 semi-finals.

 Only one player can prevent a Frenchman from reaching the US Open final, and he’s dashed the nation’s hopes repeatedly in recent years. World No. 1 Novak Djokovic is 52-1 against French players since sweeping Monfils and to lead to the 2010 title. Facing Frenchmen, Djokovic has won 15 straight matches overall and 21 in a row at majors. Those streaks would be longer were it not for Tsonga, Djokovic’s quarter- final opponent on Tuesday. Tsonga avenged his loss to Djokovic in the final by beating him in two years later. Also among Tsonga’s six wins over Djokovic is a 6-2, 6-2 victory at 2014 ATP Masters 1000 Toronto, which snapped the Serbian superstar’s 37-match unbeaten run against French opponents.

 Tuesday’s other quarter-final is an All-French affair between Monfils and Pouille. In their only prior meeting, Monfils rallied from two sets down to beat Pouille at the . Though he has lost his last six Grand Slam quarter-finals, Monfils has been nearly unbeatable of late. He is 18-2 since Wimbledon and has swept 16 straight sets since the Rio Olympics. Pouille was 2-9 at majors before breaking through to the Wimbledon quarter-finals.

 The 22-year-old Pouille has won each of his last three matches in five sets, including the biggest victory of his career over World No. 5 and a comeback against qualifier during which the Swiss served for the match in the third set. Pouille is the first player to win three consecutive five-setters at a Grand Slam tournament since at the 2013 US Open. The last player to contest four consecutive five-setters at a major was Dominik Hrbaty at the 2006 Australian Open, with Robby Ginepri doing the same at the 2005 US Open. Both Hrbaty and Ginepri lost their fourth five-setter. is the last player to win four five-setters non-consecutively at 2003 Roland Garros. No player in the Open Era has won four consecutive five-setters at a major, nor has any player in the Open Era won four consecutive or non-consecutive five-setters at the US Open.
