France's Lucas Pouille(22) outlasted 14-time Grand Slam champion Rafael Nadal (Spain)in a five-set classic on Sunday Sep 04,2016 to lead a trio of French men into the QF's of the US Open.
Lucas Pouille ranked 25th in the world, lived up to the promise of his QF run at Wimbledon, emerging from a roller-coaster ride with a 6-1, 2-6, 6-4, 3-6, 7-6 (8/6) triumph over the Spanish superstar.
The defeat leaves Rafael Nadal -- forced out of the French Open third round with a wrist injury that also saw him miss Wimbledon -- without at least one Grand Slam QF appearance for the first time since he was a teenaged tour newcomer in 2004
