On a side note, if Nadal loses thanks to tiredness, we can thank Shapovalov.

If Shapovalov didn't push Anderson all the way to a long five set win, Anderson would have been fresh to take on Thiem, a guy he never lost to on hard in the 4th round, and be the possible victor. Nadal would have killed Anderson in straights, and would have then had plenty more in the tank for Del Potro and possibly Djokovic. :D

Hooray! So glad Nishikori won! :) Yet another 5 set match, geesh! :)

Barring a miracle win by Millman tonight (which I am hoping for) it will be Nishikori vs. Djokovic, and we will have one semi-finalist who has never won a Grand Slam.

Man how similar is this to 2014 - won 6-4 in the fifth against Wawrinka for a SF against Djokovic.

This match should've been 3:0 Marin and would've been had he not donated rebreak in the second. But credit to Kei for managing to take advantage of the early Christmas.

What a way to finish! Huge congrats to Kei on reaching his 3rd US Open semifinal. :) I like Marin as well but after everything Kei's been through with his wrist injury over the past year I was rooting for him to have another deep run in a major and what better place to do it than his best Grand Slam? Delighted for him. :)

What Marin did here is criminal.

Novak will destroy Nishikori.

True. Cilic would have put up a bigger fight, and maybe won a set or two. Although wouldn't have beaten Novak.
Nishi will be straight-setted or will retire in set 3, be bagelled or 6-1 or something like that. I'm sure.
