Novak Djokovic's(Serbia) strange US Open path took another odd turn Friday  Sep 09,2016 as the defending champion defied stultifying humidity and the controversial tactics of Gael Monfills(France)to book a title showdown with Stanislas Wawrinka(Swiss)

World No 1 and defending champion Novak Djokovic prevailed 6-3, 6-2, 3-6, 6-2 in a bizarre semi-final that saw 10th-seeded Monfils roundly booed and accused of not trying.

Third-seeded Wawrinka withstood an early onslaught from sixth-seeded Kei Nishikori of Japan, asserting himself in the later stages to claim a 4-6, 7-5, 6-4, 6-2 victory.

Although Novak Djokovic holds a 19-4 record over Wawrinka, including two victories since the Swiss player shocked him the 2015 French Open final ,StanislasWawrinka welcomed the chance to take him on again.

"To play Novak again it will be very special," he said.
