NEW YORK – Roger Federer and Andy Murray could meet in the semifinals of the U.S. Open in a rematch of their Wimbledon and Olympic finals.
Murray, the No. 3 seed and newly-minted Olympic gold medalist, was placed in Federer’s half during Thursday’s draw in Flushing Meadows. Play starts Monday.
“You do look at the whole draw and good draws from the first rounds on, but I’m not going there just to win the first round,” Federer, the No. 1 seed and 17-time Major champion, said Sunday after winning the event in Mason, Ohio. “I’m going there to do very well and go very deep into the tournament. The focus needs to be on the first round and not beyond that in the beginning.”
