Former Swedish big player Thomas Johansson was barely satisfied with his adept Goffin who made a number of simple mistakes and allowed Federer to dominate the match. In the last set, Goffin looked abandoned.
- I had a good feeling today that I had earlier in the tournament. I have to say that David didn't have his best day and he had to fight a little bit, Federer tells ESPN.
- I am very satisfied with my level, Federer notes.
It is the 56th time Federer is in the quarterfinals of a grand slam tournament and the 13th time he is among the last eight in the US Open.
The Swiss has won the US Open five times.
