Federer did get broken I think about 5 times this tournament. Most in the first week. Each time he broke back immediately.
> Out of the 19 sets he won, 5 went to tie-breaks. And he won them all. Tie-breaks involve an element of luck, and he seems to have been at least a little lucky. The biggest break was to have Cilic suffering from foot blisters.
A tiebreak can involve an element of luck, but it's really about who plays the most clutch tennis that wins it. Look at the scorelines for his tiebreaks and almost all were one-sided. Also, I think Fed didn't face any setpoints in the tournament. So no luck involved.
> I would like US Open last 4 to feature four players without any slam win between them, the way it was at this year's women's French draw. Federer can get his 20th at next year's Wimbledon. I won't mind that. But in spite of his 2 majors this year, the chances of him winning even one more major have always been slim since 2013, and they continue to be slim. I would take the field against him for US Open 2017.
Fed's chances of winning the USO are greater than you think. So far he is 4/4 in so called big tournaments this year (slams+masters). In the two matches he lost (in smaller tournaments) he had matchpoints... So great chance for the USO imo.
