-

– Marin Cilic defeated Australian Alex de Minaur, 19, 4-6, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4, 7-5 to reach the US Open last 16 yesterday morning in the second-ever latest finish at the tournament.

Cilic, the 2014 champion, needed eight match points to defeat the world No 45 in a four-hour tie which ended at 2.22 local time, just four minutes short of the record for the latest finish.

No 7 seed Cilic will face Belgium’s David Goffin for a place in the last eight. –
