Djokovic, Federer to meet in US Open semi

05/09/2008

Novak Djokovic set up a US Open last four clash with world number two Roger Federer after beating Andy Roddick in the quarter-finals.

The Serb beat home favourite Roddick 6-2 6-3 3-6 7-6 in a bad-tempered match.

Federer, looking to win his fifth US Open title in a row, came through his last eight tie with Luxembourg's Gilles Muller 7-6 (7-5) 6-4 7-6 (7-5).

British number one Andy Murray and Spain's Rafael Nadal, the world's best player, will contest the other semi-final.
