Flawless! Carreno Busta Through To US Open SFs

With his fifth straight-sets win in a row, Pablo Carreno Busta surged into his first Grand Slam semi-final at the US Open. The 12^th-seeded Spaniard was too good for Diego Schwartzman, beating the Argentine 6-4, 6-4, 6-2 on Tuesday at Flushing Meadows.

Carreno Busta is yet to drop a set in New York. He defeated four qualifiers to open his campaign  – Evan King, Cameron Norrie, Nicolas Mahut and Denis Shapovalov – and will now face either Sam Querrey or Kevin Anderson as he looks to continue his dream run.

“It’s incredible,” Carreno Busta told ESPN in his on-court interview. “It’s something that I always dreamed of, but never thought I could arrive here. I’m very excited to be in the semi-finals in this tournament.

“It was a very good match today. I tried to be focussed all the time. Diego is a fighter. You need to play aggressive and try to dominate the points, otherwise for sure Diego will beat you.”
