DELRAY BEACH, Fla. -- John Isner and Marin Cilic notched quarterfinal victories Friday night to set up a semi-final match at the ATP World Tour Delray Beach Open. No. 4 seed Kevin Anderson of South Africa and American qualifier Steve Johnson will meet in the other semifinal. Isner was stretched to three sets for his third consecutive match, beating American qualifier Rhyne Williams 4-6, 6-3, 6-2. "Trust me, Id like to win it in two sets," said Isner, the American who is seeded second. Cilic, the seventh seed, now has won an ATP World Tour-leading 16 matches this season. The Croatian delivered 12 aces in his 6-2, 6-3 win against Gabashvili. "Good times are rolling," Cilic said. Johnson defeated No. 6 seed Feliciano Lopez 6-3, 6-2. The 24-year-old from the University of Southern California upset top-seeded Tommy Haas two days ago and earned a spot in the semifinals for the first time at an ATP event. "Im playing composed tennis and staying within myself," said Johnson, who helped USC to four NCAA titles. Johnson had to win two qualifying matches to earn a spot in the 32-player main draw. Anderson, ranked No. 21 in the world, got into the semifinals by beating Australian Marinko Matosevic 6-7 (3), 6-3, 6-3. Neither player broke serve until 3-3 of the second set when Anderson broke Matosevic and went on to close out the set. He also broke Matosevic twice in the first four games of the third set and punctuated the victory with a 131 mph ace on the final point of the match. "Ive played him a couple times before (on the World Tour) and its a battle each time," Anderson said of Matosevic, who has yet to beat the former University of Illinois standout in three ATP matches. "I just hung in there and finally got that breakthrough in the second set." Authentic Curtis Martin Jersey .C. -- The Steve Smith era in Carolina is over. Authentic Robby Anderson Jersey .

BRIDGEVIEW, Ill. -- Traction remains hard to come by for the Vancouver Whitecaps. Wednesdays 0-0 Major League Soccer draw with Chicago at Toyota Park was the Whitecaps 11th of the season and fourth straight. Still Vancouver coach Carl Robinson, whose team is now 6-4-11, 29 points, wasnt entirely displeased with the effort. "Were disappointed because I think it was a game we could have won," he said. "(But) the boys showed a lot of blood and guts and thunder, they couldnt have given me any more effort. "Well take the draw because the performance, the effort was there and we move on." Each team managed just two official shots on goal, one in each half. For Chicago (3-5-12, 21 points) the draw was a league-leading 12th, just four away from the all-time MLS record of 16 shared by the Fire and New York Red Bulls. "I thought we did well tonight other than maybe winning the game, maybe the most solid weve looked," said Fire coach Frank Yallop, the former Canadian nationaal team chief now in his first year with Chicago.dddddddddddd"We limited a pretty potent team to a couple of chances. (But) we didnt look as dangerous as I think weve looked at home at times." The Whitecaps had an opportunity in the 49th minute when a sprinting Erik Hurtado crossed directly in front of Fire goalkeeper Sean Johnson but couldnt find a target. Hurtado had both of Vancouvers shots on goal. Fire forward Mike Magees free kick in the 64th minute following a yellow card on Whitecaps defender Johnny Leveron was bottled up in traffic. Wednesdays game was only the fifth all-time meeting between the teams and third in suburban Chicago. The Whitecaps were coming off a record 30 shots while rallying to a 2-2 result with FC Dallas last Sunday. Vancouver hasnt won since a 1-0 decision over Seattle on July 5 and have just two victories since June 1. They remain winless in Chicago with a loss and two ties. Vancouver is idle until Aug. 10 when it hosts Sporting Kansas City. ' ' '
