NEW YORK (Reuters) - Roger Federer moved closer to a sixth successive U.S. Open crown after stifling Spanish 14th seed Tommy Robredo 7-5 6-2 6-2 to reach the quarter-finals on Monday.
The Swiss world number one took a while to warm up as clouds gathered over Arthur Ashe Stadium but once he had the first set in the bag, Federer wasted little time putting Robredo into the shade and secured his ninth straight win over the Spaniard.
Federer, winner of a record 15 grand slam titles, sealed victory with his ninth ace in one hour 48 minutes.
Federer next plays Sweden's Robin Soderling, whom the Swiss beat en route to the French Open and Wimbledon titles this year.
