World No. 1 Novak Djokovic has not had the best of summers by his high standards, but he is now just two wins away from a third U.S. Open title and 13th career Grand Slam.

He faces 10th seed Gael Monfils in the first semi-final at Arthur Ashe Stadium on Friday and is a heavy favourite to advance to a seventh final at Flushing Meadows.

The other semi-final sees Stan Wawrinka take on sixth seed Kei Nishikori, with the Japanese having shocked in-form world No. 2 Andy Murray in the quarters.

The action in New York gets underway at 3 p.m. ET (8 p.m. BST), with ESPN broadcasting both matches in the U.S. (available on live stream via ESPN Player) and Eurosport 1 (Eurosport Player) in the UK. 

     

Djokovic Nearing His Best Again Before American Sam Querrey surprisingly knocked him out of Wimbledon 2016 at the third-round stage, Djokovic had reached six consecutive Grand Slam finals, winning five of them.

The Serbian followed his shock early exit in London with a first-round defeat to Juan Martin del Potro at the Rio 2016 Olympics to spark notions of a surprising slump.

However, at the U.S. Open, the 29-year-old has looked close to his best again and even said himself that he is nearing top form, per the Press Association's Tom Allnutt:



That is ominous for the other three men remaining in the final Grand Slam of the year, most significantly Frenchman Monfils.

The Paris-born star is blessed with huge talent but has rarely gone deep in major tournaments—his semi-final berth at the 2016 U.S. Open is only his second appearance in the last four of a Grand Slam.

In 13 meetings with Djokovic, Monfils has prevailed only once, in their first meeting back in 2004.



In all likelihood, if Djokovic plays anywhere near his best, 30-year-old Monfils' tournament will end on Friday.
