Recap

The top remaining seed at the Winston-Salem Open, No. 2 Kevin Anderson, had little issue advancing to the semifinals on Thursday, knocking out Borna Coric in straight sets and improving his record in quarterfinals this season to 6-0. 

Anderson's record in semifinals isn't so spotless, however, as he's gone 2-3 this season.

He used a strong service game to win, blasting 10 aces and winning 87 percent of his first-serve points. Coric didn't so much as earn a break-point chance in Anderson's win. 

Nobody had an easier afternoon than No. 13 Steve Johnson, however, who didn't even need to lift his racket after Yen-Hsun Lu had to withdraw because of a back injury.

Johnson sympathized with Lu after the match, per John Delong of WinstonSalemOpen.com:

It’s never the way you want to win. (Lu is) a great competitor. We’ve played three or four times and he’s gotten the best of me the last couple times, so I was looking forward to going out there and playing him and seeing what kind of adjustments I could have made and measure your game up a little bit. But unfortunately for him I think his back is not feeling 100 percent, and with the US Open right around the corner he didn’t want to do anything to mess it up today. It’s unfortunate, but I’ll just take today and get ready...
