French seventh seed Jo-Wilfried Tsonga was eliminated from the US Open on Tuesday as Chilean 11th seed Fernando Gonzalez advanced to the quarter-finals with a 3-6, 6-3, 7-6 (7/3), 6-4 victory.
Gonzalez will play Spanish third seed Rafael Nadal, the reigning Australian Open champion who is trying to complete a career Grand Slam.
Gonzalez is trying to become the first South American to win the US Open men's singles crown in 32 years. He has a 3-6 life-time losing record against Nadal.
A possible semi-final against either Argentine sixth seed Juan Martin Del Potro or Croatian 16th seed Marin Cilic awaits Gonzalez.
