No. 20-seed Monfils pound- ed his chest and extended his arms after seventh-seeded Di- mitrov double-faulted on match point. Monfils made two major quarterfinals in a season for the first time in his career. He also advanced that far at the French Open. Dimitrov broke through to his first Grand Slam semifinal at Wimbledon but fol- low that up with another deep run.

In an entertaining match, both players made unbelievable gets, including shot in the final game that he nearly curled around the net. Dimi- trov got it back to win the point, but the match came down to break points: Monfils converted three of four, Dimi- trov just one of seven. Monfils moves on to play sec- ond-seeded Roger Federer, a 6-4, 6-3, 6-2 winner against No. 17 seed Roberto Bautista Agut of Spain in a night match. Earlier, unseeded Peng Shuai of China beat 17-year-old Belin- da Bencic 6-2, 6-1 to reach her first semifinal in 37 Grand Slam appearances.

Only five women have partic- ipated in more major tourna- ments before getting to a final four, and the relief brought Peng, 28, to the brink of tears. She said during her on-court interview that she at times thought about quitting the sport, but coach, my par- ents, they always tell me to try to keep going and never ever, give Peng, ranked 39th, has not yet lost a set in the tournament. She stayed consistent against Bencic, hitting 24 winners and committing only seven un- forced errors. Her teenage op- ponent, meanwhile, appeared to become unglued in the mug- gy 91-degree heat. Bencic, ranked 58th, was the youngest quarterfinalist at Flushing Meadows since her mentor, Martina Hingis, won the title at 16 in 1997.

Bencic is coached by mother, Melanie Molitor, and was is- sued a code violation for receiv- ing help from her box while down 2-0 in the second set. 6-2, 2-0 and giving me a code Bencic yelled at the umpire. She went on to lose that game.
