* Match ends at 2 a.m after being at 4 hours 49 minuteson court.
* It was one of a thriller to watch him play.
* Dominic Thiem was equally dominant and was giving a tough competition to Nadal
* Thiem became the first player since Andy Roddick in 2004 to win a love set against Nadal in New York but the defending champion once again dug deep to come out on top of a gruelling battle played in more punishing humidity.
* Nadal will now face third seed Juan MartÃn del Potro, who defeated John Isner, in a repeat of last year’s semi-final.
