No.6 seed Nick Kyrgios produced one of the best performances of his career to beat top seed Novak Djokovic at the Mexican Open<\/a> on Thursday night.<\/p>\n

The 21-year-old Kyrgios advanced to the Abierto Mexicano Telcel<\/a> last four after one hour and 47 minutes of play. He will face Sam Querrey after the big-serving American upset fourth seed and defending champion Dominic Thiem 6-1, 7-5. In the other semi-final, Rafael Nadal (ESP, 2) meets Marin Cilic (CRO, 3).<\/p>\n
