Day thirteen - US Open

Day thirteen of the US Open and it is men's semi finals day and Kei Nishikori beat Novak Djokovic in four sets to make to the final. 

This was definitely a totally unexpected win and somehow I kept thinking that Novak would come back but the come back never came. Kei was able to win this match and get into his first Grand Slam final. 

In the second semi final Marin Cilic beat Roger Federer in straight sets. It was another huge surprise first time that in about six years that Marin has defeated Roger. 

I thought with the favourable draw that Roger had he was dead cert to at least reach the final and claim his eighteen Grand Slam title. 

However this did not happen so the final will be between Kei Nishikori and Marin Cilic and I definitely did not see either of these two making to the final. 

To be fair neither of these players player exciting tennis so let's just hope the final is not boring.
