  • World No. 1 Novak Djokovic keeps moving ahead with his record to 66-2 after beating the five times US Open Champion and currently third-ranked Roger Federer in the US Open Semifinal.

    It was a great victory for Djokovic as he has been defeated this year only by the FedEx Express, but there was another unfortunate game for Djokovic when he was trailing Andy Murray 6-4, 3-0 in the final in Cincinnati when he retired with a shoulder injury that, he says, has not troubled him here.

    Now it’s time for Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic to write history in the US Open and don’t forget that Rafael Nadal won the US Open title over Novak Djokovic in 2010, so it will be a game between defending champion and avenging match for the top two players in the world.

    Rafael Nadal Jotted down Great Britain's Andy Murray in the other semifinal. Top-seeded Djokovic won 6-7 (7), 4-6, 6-3, 6-2, 7-5 Saturday and set up a rematch in the final against No. 2 Rafael Nadal, who beat No. 4 Andy Murray 6-4, 6-2, 3-6, 6-2 in the second semifinal.

    The speculation has began that player standing in 30’s to win a Grand Slam was Andre Agassi at the 2003 Australian Open can any other player do the same feat. Djokovic has nine titles this year; Federer has only one.
