Roger Federer advanced to his seventh straight U.S. Open semi-final by avenging a loss earlier this year to Swede Robin Soderling with a straight set victory last night. The second-seeded Federer, who is attempting to win the tournament for the sixth time, took out the fifth-seeded Soderling in windy conditions in the final match of the evening at Arthur Ashe Stadium.

On the women’s side, top-seed Caroline Wozniacki of Denmark advanced in straight sets to win her quarterfinal match.
