Taiwan’s Chan Yung-jan advanced to the semi-finals of the mixed doubles at the US Open on Tuesday, while defending champion Novak Djokovic booked a 10th straight men’s singles semi-final appearance when Jo-Wilfried Tsonga retired trailing 6-3, 6-2 in their marquee quarter-final.

Chan and Nenad Zimonjic battled back from a set down to oust second seeds Yaroslava Shvedova of Kazakhstan and Bruno Soares of Brazil 1-6, 6-3, 13-11 in 73 minutes in their quarter-final on the Grandstand Court at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center.

“Semis!!!! Was a really close match today, so glad that we came back after losing the first set, and won the super tiebreaker 13-11 at the end! Will keep the same energy and attitude for the next round!” Chan wrote on Facebook following the victory.

The Taiwanese-Serbian duo hit 28 winners and converted two of four break points, winning 57 of the 111 points contested to advance to a semi-final against Laura Siegemund of Germany and Mate Pavic of Croatia.     [FULL  STORY]
