"It was too exciting on the court, but I tried to stay calm," Nishikori said in an on-court interview. Murray hit a low point in the fourth set when Nishikori was serving at 1-1. Murray was annoyed because when he had complained of a sound disturbance earlier in the match, the umpire said in such instances the players would play on. Murray had been masterful in the opening set, taking Nishikori's second serves early to put the Japanese sixth seed on the defensive, while benefiting from his 14 unforced errors. Nishikori will meet either double grand slam winner Stan Wawrinka or 2009 US Open champion Juan Martin del Potro in the last four at Flushing Meadows.
