Djokovic's stunning comeback to beat Federer in US Open semi-final
World No.1 Novak Djokovic saved two match points against Swiss star Roger Federer for the second year running to win a thrilling US Open semi-final in New York.
Federer had won two sets before Djokovic roared back to win 6-7, (7-9), 4-6, 6-3, 6-2, 7-5.
Djokovic, the Australian Open and Wimbledon champion, has now taken his 2011 record to 63 wins against just two defeats, and stands one win from a fourth Grand Slam title.
"It was definitely the biggest win of this year, one of the biggest wins of the career, under the circumstances," the BBC quoted Djokovic, as saying.
"I was two sets down. Roger was in control, he was playing better and then I switched gears and I managed to play much better in three sets," he added.
The 24-year-old will play Rafael Nadal in a repeat of last year's final after the defending champion beat World No.4 Andy Murray 6-4, 6-2, 3-6, 6-3, in three hours and 24 minutes.
