Many have predicted that it might be straight heading to the 5th US open final for Novak Djokovic. On the other hand, his opponent Kei Nishikori is new to the semifinals with just one quarterfinal he has played.
Kei Nishikori’s main concern is injuries, which has been frequent and has affected his overall ranking, when others like Dimitrov and Raonic passed on quite well.
While Nishikori does play the best player in the world in the semis, one has to give a point that he has been phenomenal cricket this year.
Djokovic, on the other hand, has been in great form and health, and therefore, if the semis continue for long, Nishikori is likely to suffer more.
The second semifinal is no easy either. Federer, who comes to the semis after beating Gael Monfils, will face Cilic for the sixth time.
Although Federer always had his way, but Cilic has changed the game in many ways in the last year. After being banned from 2013 US open, Cilic should be looking to claim a place in the finals.
While Djokovic vs. Federer will be a final to watch for, both the other semi plays look equally happening now.
