VIDEO: Roger Federer produces some vintage magic at the US Open
Like the man himself, watching Roger Federer never really gets old, especially when the magic is showing no signs of diminishing.
The 37-year-old defeated Japan’s Yoshihito Nishioka 6-2 6-2 6-4 at Flushing Meadows to begin his quest to end a 10-year drought at the US Open.
And, as usual, there was plenty of vintage Feds magic on display along the way, not least this brilliantly nonchalant winner.
Just ridiculous…@rogerfederer#USOpen pic.twitter.com/XBKnRq58RS
