US Open: Reliving Roger Federer's 5 consecutive titles at Flushing Meadows

#2 Second Title (2005): Beats Agassi 6-3 2-6 7-6(1) 6-1

Federer lifts his second title at the US Open in 2005

In a repeat of the previous year's final, Federer overcame Lleyton Hewitt in the semifinals to reach his second US Open final in as many years, where two-time champion (1994 and 1999) Andre Agassi lay waiting.

At 35, the American was the oldest finalist at the US Open since the 39-year-old Ken Rosewall in 1974. In the final against his 24-year-old rival, Agassi looked his age as defending champion Federer romped to a one-set lead.

Agassi was not about to roll over without a fight though, and rode on two breaks of the Federer serve in the second set to even the match at one set apiece.

Riding on his momentum, Agassi broke Federer for a 4-2 lead in the third, only for Federer to immediately break back from 0-30 down in the following game. In the ensuing tiebreak, the Swiss dropped just one point to take a two sets to one lead.

With the finish line in sight, Federer sprinted through the fourth set for the loss of a game, to become the first player in seven years (Patrick Rafter) to successfully defend his US Open title - in the process landing a sixth Grand Slam from as many Major finals.

Federer also extended his record run of wins in tournament finals to 23, and became the first player in the Open Era to win back-to-back Wimbledon and US Open titles in consecutive seasons.
