:Headline: US Open day 10: The fairytale of New York continues:
Emma Raducanu reached the semi-finals with yet another straight sets victory at Flushing Meadows.
Sports Mole

Britain's Emma Raducanu continued her stunning run at the US Open by beating Belinda Bencic 6-3 6-4 to reach the semi-finals.

The 18-year-old from Kent has yet to drop a set in only her second grand slam event after another outstanding display against the 11th seed and reigning Olympic champion.

Raducanu will face Maria Sakkari of Greece in the early hours of Friday morning for a scarcely believable place in the final.

Here, the PA news agency looks back on a momentous day 10 at Flushing Meadows.

There was the small matter of Novak Djokovic taking the next step towards the calendar grand slam, coming from a set down to beat Matteo Berrettini 5-7 6-2 6-2 6-3. He will face fourth seed Alexander Zverev, who beat Lloyd Harris of South Africa in three sets, in the semi-final. Sakkari was a 6-4 6-4 winner over Wimbledon runner-up Karolina Pliskova.

Fallen seeds

Men: Matteo Berrettini (6).
