Leo kibaba FEderer baada ya kushinda kwa mbinde jana anakutana na M-Luxembourg Gilles mueller mechi inayotarajiwa kuwa ngumu and on the other side kutakuwa na kazi ya ziada kwa Djokovic kumpunguza the Big american Serving..Andy Roddick katika another quarter final...washindi wa game watakutana kwenye Semi..i do hope itakuwa ni kama final ya Aussie Open..FED vs Djokovic..lets wait
Nadal downs Fish in raucous late late show
Rafael Nadal turned dream wrecker at Flushing Meadows when he downed American favourite Mardy Fish 3-6 6-1 6-4 6-2 in a rowdy late late show that closed Wednesday's programme at the US Open.
In a match that started on Wednesday and did not finish until 2.10 am local time on Thursday, world number one Nadal drowned out the deafening roars in Arthur Ashe Stadium to reach the last four at the grand slam event for the first time.
"The night atmosphere here is always amazing here but I prefer to finish a little earlier," a beaming Nadal said courtside after securing a last-four showdown with Britain's Andy Murray.
"Thanks everyone for being here until 2 o'clock."
He later added: "For sure it was not the best conditions to play a tennis match. But sometimes the schedules are tough, like here, and Australia, too. So sometimes it's difficult. But... you just accept and go on court and try your best."
After overcoming a first-set hiccup, a merciless Nadal was steaming towards victory when he was suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Leading 3-2 in the fourth set, Nadal was distracted by a male fan who shouted out from the stands while the Spaniard was in full flight of his service motion.
Sportingly, Fish immediately stopped the point and then play was held up for several minutes as a security official went to deal with the offending fan.
Once the umpire had reminded the crowd of the etiquette of staying quiet during points, normal service resumed and a rampaging Nadal won the next three games, sealing victory when Fish sailed a the ball long.
At 2.10, the finish was just 16 minutes short of the US Open record for the latest finish in New York
