New York - French 10th seed Gael Monfils reached the quarter-finals of the US Open for the third time on Sunday with a 6-3, 6-2, 6-3 victory over Cypriot Marcos Baghdatis.
Monfils, whose lone Grand Slam semi-final appearance came at the French Open back in 2008, next faces either fourth-seeded Spaniard Rafael Nadal, a two-time champion, or compatriot Lucas Pouille as three French men battled Sunday for places in the last eight.
