:Headline: US Open day nine: Leylah Fernandez into last four after overcoming another seed:
The runs of Botic van de Zandschulp and Carlos Alcaraz came to an end.
Sports Mole

Canadian teenager Leylah Fernandez continued her stunning giant-killing run at the US Open with victory over Elina Svitolina to reach her first grand slam semi-final.

Daniil Medvedev ended the run of qualifier Botic van de Zandschulp to reach the last four for a third straight year.

But 18-year-old Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz's run ended after he retired injured a set down to Felix Auger-Aliassime.

Here, the PA news agency looks back at day nine at Flushing Meadows.
