Top seed Djokovic was pitted against Feliciano Lopez in the quarter-final. The Serbian was level at one-set all before bouncing back in the third set and sealing the match in the fourth via a tiebreaker.

Cilic kept his dream of retaining the US Open alive after a hard-fought victory over Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in a five-set thriller. After winning the first two sets, the Croatian lost the next two sets, forcing the match into a decider, which went the defending champions' favour as he won 6-4, 6-4, 3-6, 6-7, 6-4.
