Stanislas Wawrinka(Swiss)defeated Juan Martin del Potrol to advance into men's singles SF at the 2016 US Open
Stan won 7-6, 4-6, 6-3, 6-2 in a match that lasted for over three hours.
The Swiss, who beats Illya Marchenko 6-4, 6-1, 6-7 (5), 6-3 to set up QF clash with the towering Argentine, played the pressure points brilliantly well.
The win was Stanislas Wawrinka’s first over Del Potro since defeating the tall Argentine in the second round at Wimbledon eight years ago.
The Swiss has now won three of their seven meetings, but lost the most recent one, in the second round at this year’s Wimbledon Championships.
Stanislas Wawrinka, the 2014 Australian Open winner and 2015 French Open champion, will next meet sixth seed Kei Nishikori of Japan, the 2014 Flushing Meadows runner-up, who upset world number two Andy Murray in five sets in their quarter-final.
Friday Sep 09,2016's other Men's SF will pit World No 1 Novak Djokovic against French 10th seed Gael Monfils.
