Federer finds his way to quarter-finals

Roger Federer brushed aside Jurgen Melzer to seal his place in the quarter-finals of the US Open, with another fine performance ensuring he has yet to drop a set in doing so.

The second seed was a 6-3 7-6 (7/4) 6-3 winner in the second night match at Flushing Meadows, where his all-round quality proved too much for 13th-seed Melzer.
