Federer Shut Out of Finals

U.S. Open

Will be Nadal vs. Djokovic on Sunday.

Novak Djokovic defeated Roger Federer 5-7, 6-1, 5-7, 6-2, 7-5 at the U.S. Open on Saturday. The third-seeded Djokovic will face off against top seed Rafael Nadal on Sunday. It’s Nadal’s first time at the U.S. Open final, which he got to after crushing Mikhail Youzhny 6-2, 6-3, 6-4 Saturday. "For me, is a dream," Nadal said. "I'm going to play for the first time in the final here, in the biggest center court in the world." If Nadal wins the Open, he’ll become the seventh man to get nine major championships—he’s already won the French five times, Wimbledon twice, and the Australian once. Federer had more experience with the Open, having reached six consecutive finals and won five trophies form 2004 through 2008.
