Federer continues easily, Williams has a moment of shock

French Open winner Ashleigh Barty, however, has already failed in New York. The Swiss Federer (38) had no trouble with David Goffin (28) on Sunday and won 1:19, 6:2, 6:2 in just 6:0 hours. In the tenth duel with the hopeless Belgian, Federer celebrated his ninth victory.

"It was great, I had a good feeling again today. I'm very happy with the level of my game," said Federer, who is in the quarter-finals in New York for the 13th time and found words of comfort for Goffin: "You have to say, that he didn't have his best day either."

Williams also in the round of the top eight Last year's finalist Williams caused a moment of shock in her victory against Croatian Petra Martic. When the score was 2:2 (30:15) in the second set, the 37-year-old sprained and had to be treated by a physiotherapist on her right ankle. "That was a bit frustrating," she said after the game: "It affected me a little bit mentally because I had a tough year with injuries." Nevertheless, Williams, who is aiming for her 24th Grand Slam title in New York, won 1:32, 6:3 after 6:4 hours. In the quarterfinals, the American will face the number 18 seeded Chinese Wang Qiang, who surprisingly knocked the world number two Barty out of the tournament 6:2, 6:4. Former finalist Karolina Pliskova (Czech Republic/No. 3), who lost 7:6 (7:1), 3:6, 5:7 against Briton Johanna Konta (No. 16), was also eliminated.

Wimbledon finalist Federer, on the other hand, will face unseeded Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrow, 2017 ATP champion, in the round of the top eight. Last year, Federer surprisingly failed in the round of XNUMX against Australian John Millman in Flushing Meadows.

Goffin got off to a strong start in the game against the 20-time major winner with the break to make it 2-1, but Federer immediately got the serve back and marched ahead for the rest of the game. He was ice-cold and used nine of his ten break points against the Belgian.
