Fourth-seeded David Ferrer came back to take a thrilling five-set quarterfinal victory over eighth-seeded Janko Tipsarevic on Thursday at the 2012 U.S. Open. With the win, Ferrer advances to the semifinals.

It wasn't easy for Ferrer, as he had to battle back from a two-sets-to-one deficit, then had to come back from down 3-0 in the fifth to force a decisive tiebreak. He went on to win the only mini-break before serving out the match for a 6-3, 6-7(5) 2-6, 6-3, 7-6(4) victory. Ferrer now moves on to face the winner of Novak Djokovic and Juan Martin Del Potro.
