NEW YORK: Roger Federer shook off another slow start to defeat Bosnian Damir Dzumhur and reach the third round of the US Open on a rainy Wednesday when showers wiped out most matches.
Five-time US Open winner Federer, who lost to top-ranked Novak Djokovic in last month's epic five-set Wimbledon final, broke early in each of the last three sets and held serve to advance."I buckled down and told myself I was going to hang tough and not get broken and that made a big difference," Federer said.
Defending champion Novak Djokovic and six-time US Open winner Serena Williams were set for later matches under the roof at Ashe and French Open champion Ashleigh Barty, the second seed from Australia, was to play at Armstrong. Williams, 37, had won her first Slam title at the 1999 US Open and reached her second Flushing Meadows final before 121st-ranked McNally was born.
