Wimbledon champion Martketa Vodrousova is through to the quarter-finals and will face Madison Keys. But Ons Jabeur, last year's runner-up, bowed out 6-2 6-4 to China's Qinwen Zheng, who will play new world number one Aryna Sabalenka. Here, the PA news agency looks back at day eight at the US Open. Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova moved a step closer to back-to-back grand slam titles by beating Peyton Stearns to quarter-finals. The 24-year-old Czech, seeded ninth here two months after becoming the first unseeded woman to win at SW19, fell a set behind to Stearns. But the American youngster, whose powerful forehand accounted for Britain's Katie Boulter in round three, won just five more games as Vondrousova triumphed 6-7 (3) 6-3 6-2. Jack Draper's breakthrough run came to an end in the fourth round after a four-set defeat by Russian Rublev. The British number four, in the second week of a grand slam for the first time, fell 6-3 3-6 6-3 6-4 But Draper's performances this week will hopefully point to an upward curve in such a promising career hindered by fitness issues. Forty and counting... Women: Jessica Pegula (3), Ons Jabeur (5), Daria Kasatkina (13).Men: Alex De Minaur (13). The quarter-finals begin with Coco Gauff taking on Iga Swiatek's conqueror Jelena Ostapenko. Novak Djokovic follows against Taylor Fritz, while in the night session there is an all-American showdown to savour between Frances Tiafoe and Ben Shelton.
