Djokovic, Nadal headed to final at US Open
By EDDIE PELLS, AP National Writer
NEW YORK (AP)—Facing two match points against a beloved player whose name is already in the history books, Novak Djokovic clenched his jaw, nodded his head and flashed an ever-so-slight glimpse of a smile.“I would lie if I say I didn’t think I’m going to lose,” Djokovic said.
Might as well go down swinging then, right?
He turned violently on a wide, 108 mph serve from Roger Federer for a cross-court, forehand winner that barely nicked the line. The fans in Arthur Ashe Stadium, ready to explode for a Federer victory, instead found themselves taking a cue from Djokovic—who raised his hands, asking them to pump up the volume, and give him a little more love.
Top-seeded Djokovic won 6-7 (7), 4-6, 6-3, 6-2, 7-5 Saturday to improve to 63-2 on the year and set up a rematch in the final against No. 2 Rafael Nadal, who beat No. 4Andy Murray 6-4, 6-2, 3-6, 6-2 in the second semifinal.
