US Open 2023: Djokovic beats Fritz, Gauff into semi-finals for first time – as it happened

Coco Gauff beat Jelena Ostapenko to reach her first US Open semi, then Novak Djokovic saw off Taylor Fritz to reach the last four of a Grand Slam for a record 47th time

Ostapenko 0-2 Gauff* Ashe is far too empty for a match of this quality and magnitude; I'm not sure why, but it's a nonsense. Ostapenko, meanwhile, is thrashing away, a big forehand making 15-all, but she misses with two more attempted winners, then Gauff sends an ace down the T, and that's the consolidation.

*Ostapenko 0-1 Gauff (*denotes server) Gauff makes 15-30, then Ostapenko nets a forehand and immediately we have break points, two of them. But Gauff only needs one, Ostapenko netting a backhand, and she didn't really have to earn that.
