Djokovic, Fish reach Montreal semifinals

MONTREAL, Aug. 12 (UPI) -- Novak Djokovic extended his current match winning streak to 10 Friday and joined Mardy Fish in the semifinals of the Rogers Cup.

Djokovic won 41 matches this year before finally suffering a loss and now has a 51-1 record for the season, recording his latest victory with a 6-2, 6-1 decision over Gael Monfils in the quarterfinals.

This is the first tournament for Djokovic as the world's No. 1 ranked player and he remained unbeaten in 26 matches on hard courts this year.

He will meet Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the semifinals after Tsonga coasted past Nicolas Almagro 6-4, 6-4.

Fish, ranked a career-best ninth in the world and seeded sixth in this tournament, got past Ernest Gulbis Friday in the quarterfinals 6-3, 7-6 (10-8). Fish won in his most recent event in Atlanta.

Janko Tipsarevic eliminated Tomas Berdych 6-4, 6-4 to set up a semifinal meeting with Fish.

A Fish-Djokovic final would be their second meeting of the year. Djokovic defeated Fish in the championship match of the Sony Ericsson Open 6-1, 6-3.
