US Open 2001

No. 4 seed Hewitt now faces, No. 7 seed Yevgeny Kafelnikov for a place in his first Grand Slam final after the Russian beat Gustavo Kuerten in straight sets, the Brazilian badly affected by a back problem.

Another night in Arthur Ashe Stadium, another unforgettable men's match that stretched into the midnight hour. And we haven't even made it to the semifinals yet.
