US Open 2014 Results: Final Scores, Updated Bracket and More for Day 13

The men's singles final for the 2014 U.S. Open is set, and it's a matchup between No. 10 Kei Nishikori and No. 14 Marin Cilic just as we all predicted. OK, maybe not.

The two finalists shocked the world in the semifinals with a pair of upset victories. Nishikori opened up with a four-set victory over top-seeded Novak Djokovic, while Cilic started strong against No. 2 Roger Federer and didn't look back, winning in straight sets.

While Serena Williams beat her half of the draw to make the final, Djokovic wasn't so lucky on the men's side as Nishikori and Cilic will both try to win their first Grand Slam titles.

Let's break down all of the Day 13 results.

Men's Singles Semifinals

No. 10 Kei Nishikori defeats No. 1 Novak Djokovic

Novak Djokovic had his hands full with a tough semifinal matchup against a surging Nishikori, and didn't have enough in the tank to pull it out. The Japanese 24-year-old advanced to his first Grand Slam final, winning 6-4, 1-6, 7-6, 6-3 in four sets.

From the onset, it became obvious that Djokovic wasn't going to have another stroll in the park. Nishikori was on a mission from the opening game, attacking his opponent with elite track-down speed.

When Nishikori got set with his forehand, he was practically unbeatable. Any time the two went back and forth for long rallies, it was Nishikori—not Djokovic—who punished the other by smashing powerful winners.

The winner admitted he was a bit surprised with the win, but not too much.

"Maybe a little bit, but not too much," Nishikori said, via USOpen.org, in his post-match interview. "You know, I was ready to play, you know, these kind of players always. Especially this year I have been playing really well. I went to final in Masters once and, you know, I have been beating those top guys already."

Djokovic looked to be on a collision course with Federer for Monday's final, but Nishikori squashed that possibility in four impressive sets.

Now, Nishikori will continue what has already been his most successful ever run in a Grand Slam to the final against Cilic. It will already be a tournament he'll never forget, but Nishikori could make it a title-winning memory by winning three more sets.

Djokovic wasn't able to take advantage of his status as favorite in his semifinal, but Federer would, right? Not quite.

Cilic started where he left off against Federer, winning the opening set and never looking back. He closed it out in three quick sets, sending the Swiss star home.

Just like he did against No. 6 Tomas Berdych in the quarterfinal, Cilic surprised by jumping on his opponent with a dominating first set. He used a big serve to his advantage, throwing Federer for a loop all match.

Unlike in his quarterfinal against Gael Monfils, though, Federer was unable to mount the comeback once he went down two sets to none.

After the result, it became official that this would be the first Grand Slam in nine years without Andy Murray, Rafael Nadal, Djokovic or Federer included per ESPN Stats and Info:

The Croatian has emerged, along with Nishikori, as one of the biggest surprises so far at Flushing Meadows. The 25-year-old made a quarterfinal run in this year's Wimbledon and a semifinal run at the 2010 Australian Open, but never made a Grand Slam final prior to Saturday.

As for Federer, he entered New York with a serious chance to win his first Grand Slam title in more than two years. In the end, though, the 33-year-old's 18th Grand Slam will have to wait.
