Roger Federer, N.3 World, still dropped a set Wednesday in the second round of the US Open, before finding his rhythm and finally beat the Bosnian Damir Dzumhur (99) 3-6, 6-2, 6- 3, 6-4.
In the next round, the Swiss will face the French Lucas Pouille (27th) or the British Daniel Evans (58th).
After the fairly dry loss of the first set, "I tried to make fewer mistakes, at the beginning and end of the second set, there were tense moments, but I held and I'm happy to pass "3rd round, said the Swiss.
He had already given the first set in the first round against the Indian Sumit Nagal (190 and qualifying).
Due to the rain, only the Arthur-Ashe courts, where Federer played, and Louis-Armstrong, with a roof, were able to respect the schedule of matches.
No game had yet started on the other courts at 4:15 pm (22:15 French, 20:15 GMT).
