Novak Djokovic advances, U.S. Open semifinals set
NEW YORK — Novak Djokovic reached his 11th straight U.S. Open semifinal, sweeping Australian John Millman on Wednesday night.
The sixth seed Djokovic won 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 over Millman, who took out Roger Federer to make his first Slam quarterfinal.
Djokovic, a two-time U.S. Open champion and 13-time Grand Slam winner, gets No. 21 Kei Nishikori in the semifinals.
Djokovic has made the U.S. Open semis every year since 2007, excluding last year when he missed the event with an elbow injury.
Earlier Wednesday, Nishikori ousted No. 7 Marin Cilic 2-6, 6-4, 7-6 (5), 4-6, 6-4 in a rematch of the 2014 U.S. Open final won by Cilic. That marked Nishikori’s deepest Grand Slam run.
