Roger Federer was bounced from the French Open by eventual champion Stan Wawrinka back in June, but the world No. 2 got his revenge Friday night with a 6-4, 6-3, 6-1 semifinal win to advance to his first U.S. Open final since 2009.

And while the loser of the first set had won three of the previous five matches between Federer and Wawrinka, that wasn't the case Friday night.

Federer won 67 percent of his first-serve points in the first set, and that percentage only increased in set No. 2. En route to nabbing a 6-3 second-set v...
