US Open - Mens Day 9

The first of the mens' quarter-finals takes place on Tuesday, and it's a clay court encounter played on hard courts as Pablo Carreno Busta meets Diego Schwartzman.

Carreno Busta has had a pretty gentle ride to this stage so far, having faced four qualifiers in the first four rounds, and he is yet to drop a set. Evan King (308 in the world) and Cameron Norrie (225) offered very little resistance, and the same was true of Nicolas Mahut (115), so in truth all he has really had to beat has been young Denis Shapovalov thus far.

Diego Schwartzman has had an altogether tougher run so far, but he has also proved a lot more. He beat Marin Cilic in four sets, despite being a 7/2 shot in that one, and followed up with a 3-1 win over Lucas Pouille in the fourth round.

Carreno Busta is a justifiable favourite in this one, but at 19/10 it is Schwartzman who is the value in what could be a tight match either way.
