Tennis-Fognini in Miami Open semis with win over Nishikori

An out-of-sorts Kei Nishikori was sent packing from the Miami Open on Wednesday, beaten 6-4 6-2 by unseeded Italian Fabio Fognini.

Second seed Nishikori was unusually lethargic throughout the match, allowing Fognini to become the first unseeded player to make the Miami semi-finals since 2007.

It took the 29-year-old barely an hour to beat Nishikori in a match in which both players struggled on serve.

Fognini will play either Rafa Nadal or Jack Sock in the semi-finals.
