Kevin Anderson defeated Sam Querrey to become the first South African to reach the semi-finals of a Grand Slam for 14 years.
Anderson, 31, defeated Querrey 7-6 (7/5), 6-7 (9/11), 6-3, 7-6 (9/7) in the US Open quarter-finals.
Not since Wayne Ferreira at the 2003 Australian Open has a South African made the last four at a Slam, while Cliff Drysdale in 1965 was the last man to do so in New York, when the tournament was still amateur.
