Much to Alex de Minaur’s delight, Vasek Pospisil is now out of the US Open tennis tournament.

Vernon’s own was defeated in all three sets: 7-6 (6), 6-3. 6-2 in the quarterfinals Monday, Sept. 7 in New York.

That puts de Minaur of Australia into his first grand slam quarterfinal, where he will face Dominic Thiem or Felix Auger-Aliassime.
