The Latest on US Open: Mladenovic Reaches 1st Major Quarters

NEW YORK — The Latest on the US Open (all times local):

1 a.m.

Kristina Mladenovic, who had never been past the third round at a major before this week, is into the quarterfinals at the U.S. Open.

The 40th-ranked Frenchwoman beat Ekaterina Makarova 7-6 (2), 4-6, 6-1 in a match that didn't end until past midnight Monday morning. The 13th-seeded Makarova made the semifinals at Flushing Meadows a year ago, but Mladenovic, 22, was the more poised player in this one, twice rallying from down a break in the first set. She won with style too, pulling off a between-the-legs shot on the way to taking a point during the second set.
