It’s always silly to count Roger Federer out and the Swiss tennis legend showed just why yesterday.
There’s no arguing that Federer is probably not the player he was three or four years ago, but from time to time Federer can turn up the heat.
After beating Andy Murray at the previous grand slam, Federer went on to lose to Djokovic in the final.
The Cincinnati Masters served up what looked to be dejavu when Federer once again beat Andy Murray to set up a final with world number 1, Novak Djokovic.
Federer was to get his revenge yesterday, with a 7-6,6-3 victory.
He heads to the US open which begins in 7 days with confidence to win his 17th career grand slam.
