U. S. Open: Federer razor sharp in win over Eva vanguardngr.com vanguardnews
After slow starts in his last two U.S. Open matches, Roger Federer took his game up a notch on Friday walloping Briton, Dan Evans 6-2 6-2 6-1 to reach the last 16.The Swiss great was brimming with confidence from the start, taking advantage of the speedy hardcourts under the open roof at Arthur Ashe Stadium on a warm and sunny day.
Federer, who is seeking his sixth U.S. Open title, rifled 48 winners and 10 aces to see off Evans, who is now 0-3 lifetime against the 38-year-old. Federer has had limited court time since his epic defeat to Novak Djokovic at the Wimbledon final in July but appeared to shake off any remaining rust with the win.
“I really enjoyed myself today. Beautiful sky and you guys out here also helped,” he said in an on-court interview in front of an adoring crowd.“At the end of the day, what matters the most for me is that I am in the third round after those two sort of slow starts,” he told reporters.
