The Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic has reached the U.S. Open semi-finals for a fourth consecutive year with a convincing straight sets victory over Gael Monfils of France.
Monfils, cheered on by countryman and New York Red Bulls striker Thierry Henry, jumped ahead 4-2 after breaking the number three seed's serve, but Djokovic broke back and dominated the subsequent tiebreak 7-2.
Monfils, who had never beaten his Serbian opponent in four previous meetings, failed to hold serve in the second set and Djokovic was similarly dominant in the final set as he rounded off the contest in two hours 24 minutes.
Djokovic will next meet either Roger Federer or Robin Soderling.
