Kei Nishikori, the first Japanese man to compete in a Grand Slam singles semifinal in 81 years, defeated Novak Djokovic, 6-4, 1-6, 7-6 (4), 6-3, on Saturday to reach the United States Open final.
The man who preceded him, Jiro Satoh, reached five major semifinals, the last one at Wimbledon in 1933, when he was 25. The next year, Satoh threw himself off the side of a ship in the darkness of night and drowned in the Strait of Malacca.
