"It's one of those matches that you will remember for the rest of your life, not just because you won against one of the best players that ever played this game at that occasion, but as well coming back from match points down and under the circumstances playing good tennis and winning in the end, the thriller you know," said 23-year-old Djokovic.

Djokovic will challenge the 24-year-old Spaniard Nadal, who has won his last 20 Grand Slam matches and holds eight Grand Slam titles.

"It's finals of the Grand Slam. I've been in this situation before in 2007, so I'm more experienced than Rafael," said Djokovic.

"But it's gonna be definitely a tough one. Rafael is just playing fantastic tennis. He's gonna be very motivated to win this title because it's the only title he hasn't won in majors."

Nadal is the reigning Wimbledon and French Open champion who has never reached a US Open final. The world number one superstar needs a US Open title to complete the career Golden Slam, which is all four majors and an Olympic gold medal.

Djokovic, whose only Grand Slam title came at the 2008 Australian Open, seeks his 18th career crown. He had lost six of prior eight Grand Slam semifinals, including his past four in a row.
