NEW YORK—Friday is all about the men with four stars battling it out in Arthur Ashe Stadium. First up will be a blockbuster Wimbledon rematch between top seed Rafael Nadal and Juan Martin del Potro.

Nadal leads their career head-to-head 11-5, but Del Potro scored a pretty major scalp in New York over the Spaniard in 2009 on his way to the title.

In the other semifinal, Novak Djokovic will face Kei Nishikori. The Serbian leads 14-2 and will come in a bit more refreshed after having a much easier time of it in the quarterfinals. The last time Nishikori beat Djokovic was at the 2016 US Open.
