Richard Gasquet has come from one set down to defeat number six seed Tomas Berdych to advance to the quarter-finals of the US Open.
The Frenchman was broken twice in the first set as he struggled for rhythm on his serve, allowing the 29-year-old to cruise to a 6-2 victory.
However, Gasquet hit back impressively by taking the attacking to Berdych with a series of shots on his forehand and he managed to break the Czech twice to level the match courtesy of a 6-3 win.
The third set proved to be a tight contest as both players found their best form as neither was able to crack their opponent. However, the number 12 seed found another gear to create his opportunity to break and seized the one chance to enable him to take the set 6-4.
