MELBOURNE, Australia — World No. 4 and U.S. Open finalist Taylor Fritz is out of the Australian Open after Gael Monfils continued his vintage run through the tournament. Fritz took the first set 6-3, but from thereafter Monfils took control, prevailing 3-6, 7-5, 7-6 (1), 6-4.

Gael Monfils rolls back the years to oust fourth seed Taylor Fritz and reach the Australian Open fourth round.

France's tennis star Gael Monfils, who became the oldest man in almost 50 years to win an ATP Tour title in Auckland one week ago, dropped 24 aces on USA's Taylor Fritz to notch his eighth successive match victory.

Djokovic’s four-set victory over his young rival sets up a semifinal with second-seeded Alexander Zverev and keeps alive his hope of a record 25th Grand Slam title.
