Youzhny defied the Spanish challenge to reach the QFS at Flushing Meadows
Russian 12th seed Mikhail Youzhny defeated the unseeded Spaniard Tommy Robredo in four sets with a 7-5 6-2 4-6 6-4 scoreline to book his place in the US Open quarter-finals at Flushing Meadows.

Mikhail Youzhny did not lose his cool during the most crucial moments of the match and emerged victorious over the Spaniard Tommy Robredo in four sets with a 7-5 6-2 4-6 6-4 scoreline. With this win, Youzhny reached the quarterfinal of the US Open after a gap of four years.

Robredo was unlucky on certain occasions - especially near the net, but that did not take away the credit from Mikhail Youzhny, who kept himself calm during the intense moments of the match and played with grit and defiance - till the end to earn a hard-fought victory.

Youzhny reached the semi-final at Flushing Meadows in 2006. The Russian played erratically at times, but Robredo failed to capitalize on two early break-point opportunities with the score at 1-2. In the end, those missed chances proved crucial.

Re-live the exciting moments of this match!

Robredo made a comeback in the match by winning the third set, but Youzhny raced through his next service game and won the crucial set to clinch the match.
