US Open Glance: Men’s, women’s semifinal spots to be filled

NEW YORK (AP) — A quick look at the U.S. Open:

LOOKAHEAD TO WEDNESDAY

Rafael Nadal could make a 33rd career Grand Slam semifinal and three women have a chance at their first. Nadal faces No. 20 Diego Schwartzman in one men’s quarterfinal and No. 13 Gael Monfils plays 24th-seeded Matteo Berrettini in the other. Nadal, who has won three of his 18 major championships at the U.S. Open, will be playing in his 40th Grand Slam quarterfinal. He’s won his last seven in that round at Flushing Meadows. None of the women in action Wednesday are nearly that accomplished, with No. 25 Elise Mertens the only one who has been to a Grand Slam semifinal. She plays 15th-seeded Bianca Andreescu, who aims to become the first teenager in the semifinals at the U.S. Open since Caroline Wozniacki was the runner-up in 2009. No. 13 Belinda Bencic and No. 23 Donna Vekic play in the other quarterfinal.
