The Scot started the match as a hot favourite to make it through, having been in blistering form in his quarter-final match, and whistled through the first set 6-1 in just over half an hour.

Murray looked in charge of the second set as he went a break up, but a rain delay changed the momentum in the match - and Nishikori broke back, before breaking again with Murray serving at 4-5 down in the second.

That levelled the match - and the Scot, so dominant early on, now knows exactly what faces him: Nishikori has beaten the world number two before and is a former US Open finalist, having knocked out Novak Djokovic on this very same Arthur Ashe Court in the semi-finals in 2014.
