He was rarely troubled in what was also his first quarterfinal at a major tournament, and it was the first time that he d played on the main arthur ashe show court in new york. He d lost his three previous meetings to de minaur but took the first set 63, and despite needing treatment for a groin problem in the second set, he won that 75 and breezed through the third 62.

That israel maintain a military presence in the philadelphi corridor. That s a small buffer zone between gaza and egypt s sinai desert. Mr netanyahu said israel is committed to destroying hamas and bringing the hostages home. He warned of the potential consequences should israel relieve its military pressure on hamas. Our middle east regional editor mike thomson has more on the prime minister s comments from jerusalem. Tonight, benjamin netanyahu double down on his insistence that israeli troops will not be withdrawn from the philadelphia corridor. That is the strip of land separating southern gaza from egypt.
