That’s more like it.

Roger Federer absolutely steamrolled into the fourth round of the U.S. Open on Friday, looking much more his 20-time Grand Slam-winning self than he did in a pair of relatively shaky matches to begin the tournament.

The 38-year-old Federer needed just 1 hour and 20 minutes to sweep away Great Britain’s Dan Evans, 6-2, 6-2, 6-1, in the opening match of the day session at Arthur Ashe Stadium. Federer had 48-7 advantage in winners.

Federer had scuffled against Sumit Nagal and Damir Dzumhur, dropping the first set in each match.

Federer is seeking his first major title since the 2018 Australian Open and his first U.S. Open title since 2008. He will play the winner of No. 15 seed David Goffin and Pablo Carreno Busta in the Round of 16.
