Giant South African Kevin Anderson insisted he never gave up hope of landing a significant Grand Slam blow despite being just nine months shy of his 30th birthday.
The Johannesburg-born, Florida-based Anderson stunned world No 3 Andy Murray at the US Open on Tuesday to reach his first Grand Slam quarterfinal in the 27th attempt.
His 7-6 (5), 6-3, 6-7 (2), 7-6 (0) win over the 2012 champion, fought out over four hours and 18 minutes, was also his first win over a top-10 player at the Grand Slams in 16 matches.
