Spain’s David Ferrer reached his fourth Grand Slam quarter-final of 2012 Tuesday when he beat Richard Gasquet 7-5, 7-6 (7/2), 6-4 in a rain-hit US Open last-16 tie which took over seven hours to complete. But defending champion Novak Djokovic was left in limbo by the torrential rain which caused more than six hours to be lost from the programme, most of it from two lengthy delays which constantly pushed back the schedule. Andy Roddick, the 2003 champion, who is playing in his last tournament before retirement, was into a first-set tie-break with 2009 winner Juan Martin Del Potro. -Photo by agencies
