Battle between three-times defending champion Roger Federer and 2003 winner Andy Roddick

Two men in black in action at the US Open 2007 quarterfinals today. The match was still in progress when i wrote this post. Both players played really well giving no free points to each other. There are no break point in the first set and Federer bag the first set with an ace. Andy Roddick got a break point in the seond set but did not manage to convert it. Roddick lose the second set to Federer in the tie break. It looks like the third set is dominated by Roger Federer. Federer converted 2 break points and won the match in just 122min. The result was a straight set triumph by Roger Federer 7-6(5), 7-6(4), 6-2. I did expect Roger to have to play a 4 set or 5 set match tonight in order to win Roddick. The Federer express is one step closer to the finals of US Open 2007. Next Federer will be playing against the world No.4 Nikolay Davydenko in the semifinals. Davydenko also have a straight set win 6-3, 6-3, 6-4 against No.10 seed Tommy Haas. Well done Federer!!
