Mardy Fish beat fourth-seeded Andy Murray and reach the Cincinnati Masters semifinals with a 6-7 (7), 6-1, 7-6 (5) win on Friday.

Fish became the first unseeded player to reach the Cincinnati semifinals since Lleyton Hewitt in 2007.

Murray needed frequent rubdowns on both legs during changeovers, but took a 4-2 lead in the second tiebreaker.

Fish then won four straight points, the last when Murray sent a forehand passing shot wide and then slammed a ball out of the stadium.

Fish will play either ninth-seeded Andy Roddick or second- seeded Novak Djokovic in the semifinals.?
