NEW YORK : A dialed-in Novak Djokovic disconnected Ben Shelton's dream U.S. Open run in the semi-finals on Friday, twisting the knife as he copied the young American's favoured on-court celebration after clinching it in three sets.

Shelton said he had not seen Djokovic's move until after the match - but added that he would not tell another opponent how to celebrate."You know, as a kid growing up, I always learned that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, so that's all I have to say about that." "It's kind of like I'm saying I'm dialed in," Shelton explained earlier in the tournament, when asked about the celebration.
