NEW YORK — Roger Federer hasn’t been to a US Open final since 2009, something he himself pointed out last month after beating world No. 1 Novak Djokovic to win the title in Cincinnati.
Now Federer is just two victories away from reaching another final — and three wins shy of capturing his sixth US Open crown, his 18th major championship and his first Grand Slam title since the 2012 Wimbledon.
The way he’s been playing so far, it certainly looks like the Swiss Maestro could add to his already historic résumé at the age of 34.
“He always moves well, he’s pretty effortless out there,” big-serving American John Isner said after Federer eliminated him, 7-6, 7-6, 7-5, on Monday night in Arthur Ashe Stadium to advance to the quarterfinals. “He’s so fluid in how he moves. I think that’s the big reason why he’s able to play at such a high level for such a long time and stay so healthy as well.”
