Wednesday is the final day of quarterfinal action at the 2016 U.S. Open, with four men and four women seeking to keep their dream of winning a Grand Slam championship alive. 

Serena Williams, Simona Halep, Stan Wawrinka and Juan Martin del Potro are in the prime-time matchups under the lights in New York. 

Before getting to those marquee matchups, though, here are the results from Wednesday's early singles action at this year's U.S. Open:



 

Kei Nishikori def. Andy Murray (1-6, 6-4, 4-6, 6-1, 7-5)

Staring defeat in the face Kei Nishikori battled back from a 3-2 set deficit and a near collapse with a 4-3 lead in the fifth set to defeat Andy Murray and reach the U.S. Open semifinals. 

The match took four hours to complete, with Nishikori completely transforming his game after falling behind right out of the gate. 

Per ESPN Stats & Info, Murray's loss ends a 12-year streak of dominance for three of the world's best players:



While there were a lot of moments to pinpoint when Nishikori found his groove, the biggest tell for him came in unforced errors. In the two sets he lost, the 26-year-old hit a combined 31 unforced errors. In his three set wins, he hit a total of 29. 

The drop shot was also a huge piece of Nishikori's game. There were numerous long rallies between the two competitors, but Nishikori was able to keep Murray off balance frequently with beautiful placement on his shots. 

Murray also seemed to come unraveled during the fourth set when a gong went off in Arthur Ashe Stadium during a rally. The chair umpire stopped the action, causing the Scotland native to loudly voice his displeasure. 

Nishikori cruised to an easy win in that fourth set, capped off by this point, via U.S. Open Tennis:
