  1. 21:03 - Federer already he knows he will face Andy Murray in the tomorrow's semi-finals and you can catch up on how the Scot got through by clicking here

  2. 6-4 - FEDERER WRAPS UP THE WIN AFTER JUST AN HOUR AND NINE MINUTES! Federer comes up with an ace and two unreturnables to bring up three match points before producing ... yep, an ace!

  3. 5-4 - Hewitt produces one of his better service games to hold to 15 (when Federer comes up with a great backhand passing shot) to force his opponent to serve out the match after the change of ends

  4. 5-3 - Federer races through another service hold to leave Hewitt serving to stay in the match

  5. 4-3 - Hewitt holds to stay in touch in this second set when Federer sends his return of serve straight into the net

  6. 4-2 - Federer holds to consolidate the break. There's not much more to say about this match. It's not been that impressive, but it's not been bad either. It's just been comfortable for Federer

  7. 3-2 - FEDERER BREAKS! Hewitt is limping pretty badly now after points especially after coming in for the volley and Federer capitalises, pulling Hewitt all around the court to snatch the break that leaves him firmly in control

  8. 2-2 - Federer looks to be cruising at 40-0 before Hewitt fights back to 40-30. But the world number one again comes up with a great serve when he really needs it and holds

  9. 1-2 - Hewitt fights on, holding to keep his nose in front, after consecutive forehand errors from Federer allow the Australian a small amount of breathing room

  10. 1-1 - Federer is forced to recover from 0-30 to hold but he does so with a couple of service errors before Hewitt hits into the net off the forehand wing to gift the world number one the hold

  11. 0-1 - Hewitt does well to hold for the opening game of the second set with one of his easiest holds of the match so far

  12. 6-3 - FEDERER WRAPS UP THE OPENING SET! Aces number two and three in quick succession help Federer on his way to a love service hold which sees him ease through a very comfortable first set

  13. 5-3 - Federer comes up with an outrageous forehand volley to deny Hewitt the first chance to hold but the Australian, who is clearly limping on that right knee, holds at the second attempt when Federer hits into the net. The world number one will serve for the set now though

  14. 5-2 - Federer is making this look very easy now and holds to consolidate the break. He's also getting the luck though as a stretched forehand volley catches the top of the tape but still drops just over. Hewitt will have to serve to stay in the set

  15. 4-2 - FEDERER BREAKS! Hewitt appears to be cruising at 30-0 before dumping a high forehand into the high part of the net and Federer goes on to earn himself a break point with more slack shots from Hewitt. Federer fails to make the return though as he does on his second break point but the world number one gets it at the third attempt when Hewitt hits a forehand into the net

  16. 3-2 - Federer's serve has been pretty impressive so far this week and the one-two is working brilliantly well for him at the moment - the serve out wide followed by the forehand to the opposite side of the court sealing the game

  17. 2-2 - But Hewitt, who has heavy strapping under his right knee, posts another service hold to 30 to stick with Federer

  18. 2-1 - Federer's weight of shot is proving challenging for Hewitt at the moment as the world number one races through another service hold to stay in front

  19. 1-1 - Its a slightly tougher hold for Hewitt but hold he does to 30 when Federer hits into the net on an attempted forehand down the line

  20. 1-0 - Federer eases through his opening service game to 15 with a heavy first serve that Hewitt can only return into the net

  21. 19:50 - Ok, so these two are just about ready to go and it will be Roger Federer to get proceedings underway ...

  22. 19:48 - The winner of this clash will face world number two Andy Murray, after he battled his way past Julien Benneteau just a few minutes ago

    I'm a Fed fan but there is no way Federer is going­ to beat Murray, Murray is just too good on hardcourts.

    What are you people crazy or something? Face the facts,­ morons, and SHUT THE F*CK UP - Wimbledon 2003 was­ Federer's 17 GS he participated in and only then­ won it. Agassi was on his 16th major, meanwhile­ skipping like another 11, before he won Wimbledon­ '92.

    This US Open will only be Murray's 14th­ GS. Got that, tw*ts?! Everything is ahead of us! Why­ don't you control your f*ckin' hate by banging­ your stupid heads upon the wall?

  9. reed must be a pissbrain like his brother was. you can­ only judge a tennis or golf player's greatness on­ grand slams won not crappy tournaments and murray is a­ grand slam chocker like westwood and montgomery are in­ golf.

  10. I BET THE ONES WHO MONITOR THIS GAME HE IS HAVIN A­ GLASS

    From pimp, on Fri 21 Aug 8:54PM

  11. If Federer plays like this against Murray tomorrow,­ he'll get destroyed in straight sets. I hope­ he's just playing this average because he feels he­ doesn't have to raise his game since Hewitt is­ kinda bad too.

    From Pre, on Fri 21 Aug 8:54PM

  12. reed knows nothing sick of his pathetic comments when­ murray starts winning slams then we can talk but now­ fed and nadal miles ahead in that sense
