Comments on the match

A one-sided match, Federer was the player who best adapted to the strong wind blowing across Centre Court at Flushing Meadows. Roger will face Djokovic in the semi-finals. Very solid on serve (18 aces), Federer was remarkably efficient on break points, converting 5 of the 6 opportunities he faced on the Swedish player's serve.
