Roger Federer is on a roll!
The Swiss Maestro had another solid performance against Kevin Anderson to win the match in just 69 minutes.
Roger was vastly superior also in the in the first set when his main problem was a poor break points conversion. Roger won the opener 7-5 scoring 41 points vs. Anderson’s 29.
The second set was a 23 minutes’ walk in the park for Roger that grabbed a solid 5-0 lead breaking Kevin twice to win the match 7-5 6-1.
Federer: I was a good match for me
Roger was elated by this win also because Anderson is plying a really good tennis “I gave myself chances and started with a few more returns in play, I guess, at 5-all.
I was also… feeling good movement wise; feeling good absorbing his pace also being aggressive myself. I think the combination in those 10 minutes, all worked out for me. It was big to win the set and then to go on to break early in the second. Then the double break was like a bonus. From then on I was home basically. It was a really good match for me, basically.”
The semi vs. Dolgopolov
Roger will play an in-form Dolgopolov in the semi-final. Head to head is 1-0 for Roger. But the Maestro really needs to be careful that Dolgo is playing at his very best.
