Day eight at Flushing Meadows was packed with action.

Defending women's champion Naomi Osaka has bowed out but men's second seed Rafael Nadal marches on.

And wild card Kristie Ahn's dream run came to an end against Elie Mertens while Alexander Zverev ran out of steam against Diego Schwartzman.

Here, PA looks back at day eight and forward to day nine at the US Open.

Shock of the day

Belinda Bencic had already beaten world number one and defending champion Osaka twice this year, but few expected win number three to come at Flushing Meadows.
