While the men's draw produced a few surprises in the earlier rounds, it is hard to imagine a much better group of semifinalists than the ones at the 2015 U.S. Open.

Top-seeded Novak Djokovic remains the favorite as the No. 1 seed and winner of three of the last five Grand Slam titles. The only two other men to win championships in this stretch—Marin Cilic and Stan Wawrinka—are also still alive in the semifinals.

When he is at his best, there is no one in the world who can beat him. Unfortunately, he hasn't exactly been at his best so far at the U.S. Open. He described his recent win over Feliciano Lopez as almost a tossup, per ATPWorldTour.com:

I thought I played a pretty good first set, and then after that I was just trying to hang in there and wait for the opportunities. I played good at the beginning of the third. Fourth was anybody's game, really. Didn't have many chances on his service games. Played a very good tie-...
