World No. 2 Andy Murray could take one step closer to the 2016 U.S. Open final when he faces sixth seed Kei Nishikori in the last eight at Flushing Meadows on Wednesday afternoon.

The Scot's clash will be the second match of the day at the Arthur Ashe Stadium, following the third of the women's quarter-finals between unseeded Ana Konjuh of Croatia and world No. 11 Karolina Pliskova.
