Ryan Harrison was invincible on serve and Cameron Norrie was inspired advancing to the Atlanta semifinals.

“This is exactly what the doctor ordered for me,” Harrison said. “It was a little nervy from both of us there at the end, but I’m really happy to get through.”
The 2017 tournament runner-up to John Isner, Harrison will face Norrie for a trip to his second straight Atlanta final.
The 73rd-ranked Norrie led Nick Kyrgios, 7-5, 3-0, when the second-seeded Aussie retired due to a hip injury.
The top-seeded Isner bombed 21 aces and won 38 of 40 first-serve points defeating Mischa Zverev, 7-5, 4-6, 6-1, to move into his third semifinal of the season.
The Miami champion will play Matthew Ebden in the semifinals.
The fourth-seeded Ebden eliminated Marcos Baghdatis, 6-3, 6-2.
