The defeat against Ruble v in Cincinnati, and his first two games in the United States, in which he gave a set to low-profile players (Nagal and Dzumhur), suggested that Roger Federer would have a hard time fighting for what would be the twenty-first Grand Slam of his career. But his last two games, settled in three sets and in less than an hour and a half, put him back among the clear candidates to lift the title. Especially, his last victory in the round of 16 against David Goffin , the first important test he faced in this US Open.

The Swiss began again with doubts and lost his second game to the service. But it was all a mirage . From that moment he displayed the best tennis he has been seen in the United States in a long time. The current number 15 of the ATP ranking, was surpassed by the recital of blows of the Genius of Basel , which closed the first round with a blunt 6-2.

The story was traced in the second set. The Belgian had a hint of reaction and again got a break in the first few moments. Something that was of little use to him since Federer, playing with the comfort with which he did not do it in the first few days, only let his opponent make two games just like in the first round

Goffin, a tennis player with privileged legs and who had put in serious difficulties Federer on other occasions, ran from one side to the other of the track without finding any reward, and that ended up despairing him even more and reflecting on the scoreboard. So much so that the Swiss, without mercy, closed the third quarter leaving his opponent's locker to zero , thus concluding what has been his best game in this edition of the United States Open.

He is now facing the barrier of the quarterfinals, a phase that has not exceeded since 2015, the year he played his final final. That year it was Djokovic who deprived him of raising a trophy he has not achieved since in 2008 he won the fifth consecutive. Precisely before the Serbian recently lost in the final of Wimbledon, something that as he himself confessed was very painful. This time everything indicates that he will have an opportunity to take revenge in the semifinals, although they must surpass their previous commitments. In the case of Federer, in the quarterfinals the faces will be seen with the winner of the match between Grigor Dimitrov and Alex De Minaur .
