NEW YORK (Reuters) - Switzerland's Stanislas Wawrinka stepped out of compatriot Roger Federer's shadow and into the U.S. Open semi-finals with a 6-4 6-3 6-2 upset of defending champion Andy Murray on Thursday.

Wawrinka even received a congratulatory text message upon reaching his first grand slam semi-final from five-time U.S. Open champion Federer, who left the stage to Wawrinka after an early dismissal from Flushing Meadows.
