Top seed Rafael Nadal won 10 points in a row late in the match to beat Philipp Kohlschreiber 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 Friday and set up a Saturday semifinal against holder Andy Murray at the Toronto Masters. Britain's Murray turned in an impressive performance to end the 11-match win streak of Argentina's David Nalbandian with a 6-2, 6-2 victory. On Thursday, Nadal dismissed big-serving South African Kevin Anderson 6-2, 7-6. Kohlschreiber recorded a 6-7, 7-5, 6-0 winner over Taiwan's Lu Yen-hsun. Roger Federer eased into the quarterfinals with a 7-6, 6-3 win over Frenchman Michael Llodra, setting up a grudge match with Czech nemesis Tomas Berdych, who booked his place with a 6-3, 6-7, 6-4 win over Ukraine's Alexandr Dolgopolov. While Federer holds an 8-3 edge in head-to-head meetings, Berdych has dominated the 16-time grand slam winner this season and helped send the former No. 1 down to No. 3 in the world rankings. Murray survived a rollercoaster ride into quarterfinals with a wild 6-2, 0-6, 6-3 win over Frenchman Gael Monfils. Since returning last month in Davis Cup play, Nalbandian has been in inspired form reeling off a career best 11 straight wins, including a gritty 4-6, 6-4, 6-1 victory over fifth-seeded Swede Robin Soderling earlier Thursday. Djokovic, who nearly wilted under the intense heat during his opening match, was back looking fresh and fit as he swept past Romanian Victor Hanescu 6-3, 6-4. The Serb will meet Frenchman Jeremy Chardy, a 6-3, 6-2 winner over Russian sixth seed Nikolay Davydenko. Clijsters, Ivanovic in semis Former world number ones Ana Ivanovic of Serbia and Kim Clijsters of Belgium advanced to a semifinal showdown at the two million-dollar WTA Cincinnati Open with straight-set victories Friday. Fourth seed Clijsters ousted Italy's Flavia Pennetta 7-6 (8/6), 6-4. Ivanovic dominated without facing a break point in a 6-1, 6-3 triumph over Akgul Amanmuradova of Uzbekistan that lasted just 56 minutes. Russian teen Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova recovered from a 5-1 deficit in the first set and outlasted Belgium's Yanina Wickmayer 7-5, 3-6, 6-1. Russian star Maria Sharapova and France's Marion Bartoli meet in a later quarter-final for the chance to meet Pavlyuchenova in Saturday's other semi-final. On Thursday, top-seed Jelena Jankovic of Serbia and second seed Caroline Wozniacki suffered surprise third-round exits. In fierce heat, champion Jankovic fell 7-6, 6-4 to Uzbek qualifier Akgul Amanmuradova, who now meets another Serb, Ana Ivanovic, in the quarter-finals. Denmark's Wozniacki was beaten 6-4, 6-1 by France's Marion Bartoli, while Italy's Flavia Pennetta completed a trio of upsets Thursday when she beat Russian sixth-seed Vera Zvonareva 6-4, 6-3. Polish seventh seed Agnieszka Radwanska also lost 6-2, 6-3 to 10th seeded Russian Maria Sharapova, leaving just two of the top 10 seeds in the tournament. The biggest upset though was the departure of former world No. 1 Jankovic.
