Spanish 12th seed Pablo Carreno Busta advanced to his second grand slam quarter-final on Sunday by eliminating Canadian teen qualifier Denis Shapovalov 7-6, 7-6, 7-6.
Carreno Busta, the first player in grand slam history to face four qualifiers, ended a dream run for 18-year-old left-hander Shapovalov, who would have been the youngest US Open quarter-finalist since Andre Agassi in 1988.
Carreno Busta, 26, has not dropped a set this week in advancing into a Tuesday match-up for a semi-final spot against the later winner between French 16th seed Lucas Pouille and Argentine 29th seed Diego Schwartzman in a draw half assured of a first-time major finalist.
"It's amazing," the Spaniard said. "I cannot describe it. I'm enjoying because I'm in quarter-finals."
Carreno Busta won his third career ATP title in May on Estoril clay then reached his first major quarter-final at the French Open, where he retired against Rafael Nadal with an abdominal injury that kept him out of Wimbledon.
Shapovalov was dominated in tie-breakers to ruin his bid of becoming the youngest major quarter-finalist since Michael Chang at the 1990 French Open and first US Open qualifier in the last eight since Gilles Muller in 2008.
The teen's bid went down in flames thanks to going 3-of-13 on break points and making 55 unforced errors against 54 winners, Carreno Busta with 25 winners against 29 unforced errors.
Shapovalov, who lost his grand slam debut at Wimbledon, will jump from 69th to about 51st in the world rankings after the Open.
The match began under the Arthur Ashe Stadium roof on a damp, dreary day on the New York hard courts.
Carreno Busta denied Shapovalov on two break points in the second game but surrendered the break in the sixth game.
The Spaniard broke back when Shapovalov served for the set in the ninth game and denied three set and break points in the 12th to reach a tie-breaker he dominated, claiming the set when the teen swatted a forehand long.
Carreno Busta broke to lead 3-1 in the second set, saved a break point in the fifth game and served for the set in the ninth, only to be broken by Shapovalov, the teen screaming and pumping his first after an overhead smash winner to led to another tie-breaker.
The Spaniard roared ahead 4-1 in the tie-break and Shapovalov dropped three of the last four points to fall two sets down.
Shapovalov exchanged early third-set breaks with the Spaniard on the way to the final tie-breaker, in which he fell behind 5-1 and never recovered.

UAE currency: the story behind the money in your pockets
Teaching your child to save
Pre-school (three - five years)
You can’t yet talk about investing or borrowing, but introduce a “classic” money bank and start putting gifts and allowances away. When the child wants a specific toy, have them save for it and help them track their progress.
Early childhood (six - eight years)
Replace the money bank with three jars labelled ‘saving’, ‘spending’ and ‘sharing’. Have the child divide their allowance into the three jars each week and explain their choices in splitting their pocket money. A guide could be 25 per cent saving, 50 per cent spending, 25 per cent for charity and gift-giving.
Middle childhood (nine - 11 years)
Open a bank savings account and help your child establish a budget and set a savings goal. Introduce the notion of ‘paying yourself first’ by putting away savings as soon as your allowance is paid.
Young teens (12 - 14 years)
Change your child’s allowance from weekly to monthly and help them pinpoint long-range goals such as a trip, so they can start longer-term saving and find new ways to increase their saving.
Teenage (15 - 18 years)
Discuss mutual expectations about university costs and identify what they can help fund and set goals. Don’t pay for everything, so they can experience the pride of contributing.
Young adulthood (19 - 22 years)
Discuss post-graduation plans and future life goals, quantify expenses such as first apartment, work wardrobe, holidays and help them continue to save towards these goals.

What is dialysis?
Dialysis is a way of cleaning your blood when your kidneys fail and can no longer do the job.
It gets rid of your body's wastes, extra salt and water, and helps to control your blood pressure. The main cause of kidney failure is diabetes and hypertension.
There are two kinds of dialysis — haemodialysis and peritoneal.
In haemodialysis, blood is pumped out of your body to an artificial kidney machine that filter your blood and returns it to your body by tubes.
In peritoneal dialysis, the inside lining of your own belly acts as a natural filter. Wastes are taken out by means of a cleansing fluid which is washed in and out of your belly in cycles.
It isn’t an option for everyone but if eligible, can be done at home by the patient or caregiver. This, as opposed to home haemodialysis, is covered by insurance in the UAE.
