Roger Federer, 3rd World, was not worried Sunday in the round of 16 of the US Open by David Goffin (15th) that he eliminated 6-2, 6-2, 6-0 in 1h19.
"It was great, like the previous game, I had great sensations, but he did not play at his best," said the Swiss, who will face Grigor Dimitrov (78) or Alex de Minaur ( 38th) in quarters.
"I am very happy with my level today," he added.
Federer, five-time record holder at Flushing Meadows with Pete Sampras and Jimmy Connors, qualified for his 13th quarter-final at the US Open, like Andre Agassi, but still four points behind Connors' record. In total, he will play, at age 38, his 56th quarterfinal Grand Slam, a record.
