Speaking on court after the match, del Potro said of his Kohlschreiber: “He’s a very smart guy, his game is so good, he made me run a lot, so my legs are completely tired.
“But at the end of the match, I played well, and in the important moments. I am so happy to be in the semi-final.”
Del Potro will face Milos Raonic in the last four after the Canadian defeated Sam Querrey 7-5 2-6 6-3.
