No. 1 Djokovic, No. 2 Federer Easily Reach US Open Final

NEW YORK — Roger Federer is 34. It's been more than three years since he won a Grand Slam title. He's been considered past his prime for quite some time.

And he might just be playing some of the top tennis of his career at the moment.

Federer moved into his first U.S. Open final since 2009 with the latest in a string of dominating performances, overwhelming longtime pal and Swiss Olympic and Davis Cup teammate Stan Wawrinka 6-4, 6-3, 6-1 on Friday night.

"Tried very hard in the last six years to get back in another final," Federer said.
