Flushing Meadows, NY (Sports Network) - Ninth-seeded Swiss slugger Stan Wawrinka ousted reigning champion Andy Murray in Thursdays quarterfinal, while world No. Jarius Wright Jersey . 1 Novak Djokovic moved into the semifinals at the U.S. Open. Wawrinka toppled the third-seeded British star 6-4, 6-3, 6-2 inside a breezy, sun-spanked Ashe Stadium. The 28-year-old Wawrinka simply dominated Murray on Day 11, utilizing a big service game, winning 88 percent of his first-serve points en route to his first-ever Grand Slam semifinal. The match came to a close when Wawrinka converted on his first match point when Murray netted a final forehand return. Wawrinka was elated to reach his first career Grand Slam final four. "Its amazing for sure, especially here," he said. "To beat him (Murray) in three sets is just amazing." Wawrinka pulled off the straight-set upset in 2 hours, 15 minutes, as he broke Murray four times, while the Brit was unable to break his Swiss counterpart and did not enjoy even one break-point chance in the surprising setback. Murray suffered his first straight-set loss at a major since losing to Rafael Nadal in the 2011 French Open semis. "I thought he played great," Murray said of Wawrinka. Murray seemed to struggle with some windy conditions on Thursday. "Its a shame I had to play that kind of match today," he said. The 26-year-old Dunblane, Scotland, native is now 8-6 lifetime against Wawrinka, including 2-2 at Grand Slam events. The two have now met three times at the U.S. Open, where Murray prevailed in 2008 before Wawrinka avenged that defeat in the third round in 2010. "When you work hard at something for a lot of years, its going to take time to fire yourself up and get to training 110 percent," Murray said about his preparation for this years Open. "Thats something kind of natural after what happened at Wimbledon." The late-blooming Wawrinka titled in Portugal this year and is a three-time runner-up on tour in 2013, including his first-ever ATP Masters 1000 final in Madrid. His semifinal opponent on Saturday on the hardcourts at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center will be the six-time Grand Slam champion Djokovic, who earned a 6-3, 6-2, 3-6, 6-0 triumph over 21st-seeded Russian Mikhail Youzhny.

Djokovic was last years Open runner-up to Murray, lost to Murray in Julys Wimbledon final, and beat Murray in Januarys Australian Open finale. The 2012 champion Murray was also a U.S. Open runner-up to the great Roger Federer here in 2008. There hasnt been a repeat mens U.S. Open champion since Federer in 2008. Saturdays other semifinal will pit the second-seeded former world No. 1 Nadal against eighth-seeded Frenchman Richard Gasquet.

The Mercedes duo of three-time Canadian Grand Prix champion Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg has won all six races to start the season, finishing one-two in the last five.BOSTON -- The traditional post-series handshake between the Boston Bruins and Montreal Canadiens wasnt the symbol of sportsmanship the NHL might be looking for. Bruins forward Milan Lucic said something to anger Montreals Dale Weise and Alexei Emelin after the Canadiens beat the Bruins in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference semifinals. Although no one involved in the exchange would reveal exactly Lucic said, according to reports he threatened to retaliate against them next season. And he isnt sorry for saying it. "Whats said on the ice stays on the ice, and unfortunately that code is broken," Lucic told reporters at the TD Garden on Friday. "Its unfortunate that it blows up to what it is now. Im not the first guy to do it; Im not the last guy to do it. Im not sorry that I did it. Im a guy that plays on emotion, and this is a game of emotions. Sometimes you make decisions out of emotion that might not be the best ones. Thats what it is." The Bruins finished the regular season with the NHLs best record, but their quest for a third trip to the Stanley Cup finals in four seasons ended on Wednesday night with a 3-1 loss to Montreal. After the game, the teams went through what appeared to be the standard postgame handshake line. But Lucics comments still rankled in Montreals locker room afterward, when Weise said, "(The Bruins) had couple guys -- sorry, just one -- that couldnt put it behind them and be a good loser. Milan Lucic had a few things to say to a couple guys." The Canadiens have since moved on to the conference finals against the New York Rangers. The Bruins spent Friday emptying their lockers, and Lucic wasnt backing down a bitt. Marquis Haynes Jersey. "I didnt make the NHL because I accepted losing, or I accepted failure, and I think thats whats gotten me to this point and made me the player that I am," he said. "Like I said, Im not the first guy to do it, and Im sure I wont be the last." Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli also had trouble accepting the loss, saying he still believes he has a roster that can add a championship to its 2011 Stanley Cup title. There wont be a major roster overhaul this summer, he said. "This is a very good team," he said. "Theres some tweaks here and there but its a very good team; strong down the middle, strong in the nets, good character, good core." Reciting the teams accomplishments-- Presidents Trophy, five-game victory over the Detroit Red Wings, and a close series against Montreal -- Chiarelli said he would try not to overreact to the disappointing end to the season. "Its emotional, and its my job to be unemotional about it," he said. "Were not going to make too many changes to this team. But there will be some changes." Lucic, who is signed through the 2015-16 season, will remain, along with centres Patrice Bergeron and David Krejci and defencemen Zdeno Chara, Dougie Hamilton and Torey Krug. Jarome Iginla and Shawn Thornton are the teams top unrestricted free agents. "If you look at the guys, most of the guys are still going to be with us next year," Bergeron said. "And I think we have a great group of guys, a great core and we have the experience that you need in playoffs. And I think this year hopefully makes us eager to do it next year."
