New York, Sept 12 (IBNS) After a dual shock in the Women’s Singles semifinals, Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer held their might to prevent any further upset and won their respective matches, setting up a big ‘Sunday final’ in the process, here on day 12.

Cilic won a game in the next to lose it 1-6. He doubled his efforts in the third set by winning two games, handing the set and the match to the current world number one.

In an all-Swiss semifinal, Roger Federer upended Stanislas Wawrinka, as the former world number one won the match in straight sets 6-4, 6-3, 6-1 to advance towards his 18th Grand Slam win.
