Novak Djokovic found
the crowd cheering against him and
his shots flying away from him for a
set, but the top-seeded man at the U.S.
Open recovered from the loss of his
first set in the tournament for a 6-3,
6-2, 3-6 6-0 win Thursday over 21st-
seeded Mikhail Youzhny of Russia.
Djokovic will face Stanislaw Wawrinka,
who eliminated defending U.S. Open
champion Andy Murray earlier in the
day, in the semifinals Saturday.
Second-seeded Rafael Nadal will have
eighth-seeded Richard Gasquet of
France in the other men's semifinal
Saturday.
The final is scheduled for Monday.
After losing the third set, Djokovic
jumped ahead 5-0 in the fourth set and
by the end, on Youzhny's serve,
Djokovic gave himself a match point
with a leaping overhead. He earned it
with a cross-court forehand, and after
all the frustration Djokovic
demonstrated in the third set -- kicked
rackets, mutterings in Serbo-Croatian,
angry looks toward his box -- Djokovic
recovered to be smiling and joking at
the end.
