2007 US OPEN
4th Round
ROGER FEDERER v FELICIANO LOPEZ
3-6 6-4 6-1 6-4


Roger Federer survived the threat
of a huge upset to beat Spain's Feliciano Lopez and reach the quarter-finals of
the US Open.
The three-time defending champion was in trouble as Lopez's big serving and
sharp volleys gave him the first set.
But Federer battled through a close second set by breaking in game 10 and then
found his best form to race to victory.
The world number one goes on to face Andy Roddick in the QF in a repeat of last
year's final.
"(Lopez) was playing fantastic for the first two sets, dictating play, serving
unbelievable," said Federer.
"When you do lose a set you start to wonder, 'Maybe this is the night it's not
going to work out for me'. But I played great at the end."
