Despite falling off from his lofty pedestal a few weeks ago and the surprising upsets at the tournaments of late, the 12-time grand slam winner, Roger Federer, is still the man to beat at the US open.
At 27, and carrying four US Open titles in his name, he is still the force to reckon with. His 5-set disposal of Igor Andreev may have been his longest game that he played at this stage in the tournament, but it does not mean that his game is deteriorating. He is just picking up. And I don’t care if Nadal is no.1, or whether he is still in the semis or not. Roger will beat him the same.
The next opponent for Roger is Gilles Muller, a 130th-ranked qualifier from Luxembourg, who made a name for himself by downing Davydenko. Muller joined Nicolas Escude (1999) as the only other qualifier in the open era to make the quarterfinals at the U.S. Open. His luck may run out anytime soon. Federer will win the US Open and will be back at No.1.
