Federer back on top
Roger Federer has wrapped up his 13th Grand Slam title with a fifth consecutive US Open win, beating British sixth seed Andy Murray 6-2, 7-5, 6-2.
It was the Federer of old, his footwork was precise, the touch was sublime, and the impeccable Swiss timing was back. "One thing for sure, I'm not going to stop at 13. That would be terrible," said a beaming Federer. He now trails Pete Sampras's overall record by just one, and going by his form at the Big Apple, history is on the horizon.
