Defending champion Novak Djokovic swept into his third consecutive US Open final, setting up a title showdown with Britain’s Andy Murray, with a 2-6, 6-1, 6-4, 6-2 win over Spain’s David Ferrer on Sunday.
The victory gave the second-seeded Serb a year-leading 60th win of 2012 and extended his winning run at hardcourt Grand Slams to 27 matches.
Djokovic will be aiming for a sixth major in Monday’s final while third-seed Murray, who trails the Serb 8-6 in career meetings, will be bidding to become Britain’s first men’s Grand Slam champion since Fred Perry in 1936.
