Gael Monfils is back in a Grand Slam semi-final after an eight-year
wait, pummelling fellow Frenchman Lucas Pouille 6-4, 6-3, 6-3 to reach
the US Open last four.
Tenth-seeded Monfils was in control throughout against the 22-year-old
Pouille, who was coming off an epic fifth-set tiebreaker win over
14-time major winner Rafael Nadal.
Gael Monfils, whose only other Grand Slam semi appearance was at the 2008
French Open, will face either world number one and defending champion
Novak Djokovic or fellow Frenchman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga for a place in
Sunday's championship match.
