September 10th 2006 01:38
Roger Federer and American crowd favourite Andy Roddick have made it to the US Open Finals, which happen tomorrow.
The two have met a total of 11 times, with Andy only beating Roger once.
On route to the final, Andy Roddick defeated Benjamin Becker, who defeated Andre Agassi in the previous round, in straight sets. He also saw off Mikhail Youzhy of Russia who surprisingly defeated World Number 2 Raphael Nadal, who was expected to make the final for a 3rd 1-2 seed Grand Slam final matchup of the year.
Andy came back from a set down (which went to a tiebreak) to fend off Youzhy 6-7 6-0 7-6 6-3.
In the other half of the draw, Roger Federer beat Nikolai Davydenko in straight sets, 6-1 7-5 6-4. Nikolai seemed to be tired from his previous 5-set match against Tommy Haas. Nonetheless, the only match in which Roger lost a set in was that against the No. 1 American James Blake, after he had saved 5 set points before slipping to the ground to drop that set in the tiebreak.
Roger is congratulated by Nikolai Davydenko
