Federer eases to the US Open 2nd round cheered by Michael Jordan

Roger Federer rolls in the second round with a straight sets win over Marinko Matosevic.

The Maestro was always in full control of the match to break the Australian once per each set. Roger’s service game was very solid. The Swiss was broken only once in the 3rd set soon after he broke Matosevic for the 3rd time. The final score was 6-3 6-4 7-6 (4).

Federer: I was happy to see Michael Jordan

The big news was that MJ showed up at Roger’s game “I was so happy that he came into the world of tennis for a little bit and that he got to see me as the character in the whole show was pretty cool. I met him yesterday for the first time and it was a big deal for me; it’s been a special past 24 hours. We talked how I prepare, how much I play, where I go next; we exchanged ideas about our respective sports. That’s what you talk about.”

Next vs. Groth

Roger will play world no.104 (a big serve) Samuel Groth for a place in the third round. They have never played each other so far. See rankings H2H.
