Swiss Tennis Legend, Roger Federer has set up an all-Swiss semi-final clash with Stan Wawrinka at the US Open after brushing aside Richard Gasquet in straight sets.
Stan Wawrinka stormed into the semi-finals of the US Open with a 6-4 6-4 6-0 triumph over Kevin Anderson.
Roger didn’t look troubled as a combination of irrepressible serving and sizzling winners gave his French opponent few chances in a one-sided encounter that concluded 6-3 6-3 6-1 in just one hour and 27 minutes.
Fed-Ex, who will now meet Stan Wawrinka in Friday’s semi final, roared out of the traps and grabbed the decisive break in the sixth game of the opening set before scoring a psychological blow early in the second.
Gasquet fought hard just to stay in it but eventually found himself with a mountain to climb as he double faulted to hand the second set to the world number two.
Federer continued to bewitch the Frenchman with some explosive tennis, firing no fewer than 50 winners, as he sealed the third set for the loss of just one game.
