This win marked a significant milestone for the Serb as it propelled him to his 47th Grand Slam semifinal, breaking his tie with Roger Federer.

Additionally, Djokovic extended his remarkable unbeaten streak against American opponents to 30 consecutive wins.

Notably, the last American player to defeat him was Sam Querrey, who ended Djokovic's title defence in the third round of the 2016 Wimbledon Championships.

Meanwhile, Ben Shelton secured his place in his maiden Grand Slam semifinal by defeating fellow American Frances Tiafoe in a thrilling match with a score of 6-2, 3-6, 7-6(7), 6-2.

Shelton's victory guaranteed his entry in the top 20 of the ATP rankings following the conclusion of the tournament. As of now, he is projected to reach No. 19, but his ranking could climb as high as No. 15 if he makes it to the final and even No. 11 if he wins the title.

While Shelton is undoubtedly a rising star, Djokovic remains a formidable force. Djokovic has lost just one match on hardcourts this season, against Daniil Medvedev being the sole player to secure a victory over him on this surface.
