The 2014 U.S. Open men's draw can still end with a No. 1 versus No. 2 final between Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer, but that's looking nowhere near a guarantee as both players enter tough semifinal affairs on Saturday.

Outside of the top-two seeds, things haven't been easy for the best players in the men's draw as told by two double-digit seeds making it into the final four.

But then again, so is Nishikori. He has used five-set thrillers against No. 5 Milos Raonic and No. 3 Stan Wawrinka to build considerable momentum that he will certainly need against the Serbian.

Nishikori is one of the fastest players in the men's circuit, and Djokovic will have his hands full in dealing with the Japanese star's surging game. But unless the top seed fails to bring his best, he will have no trouble advancing to the final.
