Stan Wawrinka and Nick Kyrgios will renew their rivalry when they meet in the Dubai Championship semi-finals on Friday.Novak Djokovics surprise withdrawal from the event means the pair will take centre stage with a first meeting since the Montreal Masters last year.In Canada, Wawrinka was forced to withdraw with the Aussie 4-0 up in the third and final set - although the match will mostly be remembered for Kyrgios sledging his opponent with some unsavoury remarks. The pair have one win apiece from their two previous showdowns and are both bidding for a second title of the year in the absence of the world number one. Djokovic out in Dubai World number one forced to withdraw Djokovic withdrew from his quarter-final after losing the first set against Feliciano Lopez, complaining of a problem with his eye, so the tournament will seek a new champion for the first time since 2008 - the Serb and Roger Federer have won the last seven events.Kyrgios has been in sparkling form for the last couple of weeks, winning his first ATP Tour title in France when claiming the Open 13 in Marseille and now, despite being unseeded, he has moved into the last four in Dubai, seeing off third seed Tomas Berdych in straight sets on Thursday. The 20-year-old got the better of Berdych for a second week in succession and he was pleased to overcome some injury and illness scares of his own.I wasnt in the greatest shape. I think I got a bit of food poisoning last night. I was really surprised with the performance I gave out there today to come out there and beat a quality player and in tough conditions. Its probably my favourite win over the past couple of weeks, Kyrgios said.Its tough, especially with Tomas. Hes so diligent with everything he does. Hes so professional. So for me to come out there and put in a great performance like that, I just took my chances when they came.Wawrinka eased past Philipp Kohlschreiber in their quarter-final; after a tight opening set he raced through the second without losing a game as he looks to add to the title he won in Chennai earlier this year. Kyrgios ousts Berdych Aussie continues fine form in Dubai Spaniard Lopez was the beneficiary of Djokovics exit and next up for him will be the mercurial Marcos Baghdatis in the second match on court.Lopez advanced to his first semi-final of the season following Djokovics unfortunate withdrawal - the sixth seed has also seen off Guillermo Garcia-Lopez and Lukas Rosol to reach the last four. Marcos Baghdatis is bidding for a first title since 2010 Baghdatis was at his brilliant best on Thursday to see off two-time winner this season Roberto Bautista Agut in straight sets - the second seed he has beaten having dumped out Viktor Troicki in the first round.However world number 24 Lopez will have to overcome a 1-3 record against Baghdatis if he is to remain on course for a first singles title since Eastbourne in 2014.The pair have not met since Indian Wells in 2012 when the Cypriot was a comfortable straight sets winner - Lopezs only victory a fourth round epic at Wimbledon in 2008.Baghdatis has not won a title since Sydney in 2010, while he has only made one final since 2011 but he is likely to have the majority of the crowd support behind him when they take to the court in the second semi-final.You can follow all the action from Dubai live on Sky Sports 3 from 1pm on Friday.

Vapormax Plus Blu .C. -- Rodney Hood connected from all over the court while freshman Jabari Parker was busy swatting shots and scoring in transition.ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Pittsburgh Penguins coach Mike Sullivan ranks Kris Letang as one of the top three defensemen in the NHL.Letang justified that lofty praise in his return after missing five games with an upper-body injury, scoring a power-play goal and adding an assist as the Penguins defeated the Anaheim Ducks 5-1 on Wednesday night.Matt Murray stopped 32 shots in his season debut after breaking his hand during the World Cup of Hockey, while Patrick Hornqvist, Bryan Rust, Matt Cullen and Evgeni Malkin also scored for the Penguins.Letang scored 1:27 into the third period for his first goal of the season, flashing offensive skills comparable to that of the Penguins front-line stars. Taking a pass from Justin Schultz, Letang unleashed a quick wrist shot past a bewildered John Gibson.Letang also had a backhanded shot that was deflected up and off the crossbar by Nick Bonino before Rust used his positioning in the crease to clean it up, extending the Penguins lead to 3-1 late in the third period.Hes that impactful on the game, Sullivan said of Letang. He helps you get out of your own zone, he joins the rush, he makes plays off the rush. When he is in our lineup I think were obviously a much better team at both ends of the rink.Gibson made 29 saves, stopping a penalty shot by Scott Wilson in the third period after being bowled over by the Penguins forward. Gibson was replaced by Jonathan Bernier midway through the third period.The Ducks have been outscored 9-1 in their last two home games, Hornqvist adding the final goal midway through the third period.You dont want to dwell on it too much, its one hockey game, but the way we executed and some of the things we did out there were just out of character, said Cam Fowler, who scored the Ducks lone goal. We defended the whole time, gave them too much momentum and theyy were able to feed off it.dddddddddddd. They were able to do whatever they wanted to whenever they wanted to.Malkin put the Penguins ahead 7:41 into the first period, scoring his sixth goal of the season. Chris Kunitz intercepted a misplayed pass from Corey Perry to Kevin Bieksa at the blue line. Phil Kessel then found Malkin in the far circle winding up for the one-timer well before the puck left the tape on Kessels stick.Malkin, Kessel and Sidney Crosby all extended their points streaks to four games, with Kessel collecting six of his team-leading seven assists in that span. Thirteen Penguins recorded a point, Letang the only one with more than one.We were on the puck all over the rink, and when we do that were hard to play against, Sullivan said. Overall its probably one of our more complete games this year.Cullen scored 2:33 later to give the Penguins a 2-0 lead on his 40th birthday. The Ducks challenged that Tom Sestito was offside when playing a long pass from Eric Fehr before setting up Cullen, but video review was inconclusive and the play stood as called.
