Third seed Novak Djokovic has beaten Andy Roddick to set up a meeting with defending champion Roger Federer in the US Open semi-finals.
The 21-year-old Serb beat the hard hitting American 6-2, 6-3, 3-6, 7-6.
The fourth set went to a tie break, which Djokovic won 7-5.
12-time Grand Slam champion Federer was comfortable against Gilles Muller winning by three sets to one.
Tonight, the other mens semi final takes place with Andy Murray taking on world number one Rafael Nadal, at Flushing Meadows.
Murray's yet to beat the Spaniard, who knocked him out at the quarter-final stages of Wimbledon.
