US Open: Roger Federer's 5 most memorable match wins at Flushing Meadows

#3 2007 final: Federer beats Djokovic 7-6(4) 7-6(2) 6-4

Federer poses with his 4th US Open title in 2007

Three-time defending champion Federer reached his fourth consecutive US Open final by recording straight-sets wins over Andy Roddick in the quarterfinals and Nikolay Davydenko in the semis.

This was the first time in 22 years (Ivan Lendl) that a player had reached four successive title matches at the US Open.

11-time Grand Slam champion Federer faced a first-time Grand Slam finalist in 20-year-old Novak Djokovic. The Swiss lost serve in the 11th game of the first set and stared down three successive set points on his opponent's serve.

Federer saved them all, and then a further two, as the set proceeded to a tiebreak - which the Swiss clinched to take a one-set lead.

In a near-repeat of the first set, Djokovic had two more set points which he couldn't convert as Federer took the second set on another tiebreak. That gave him a two-set lead and a stranglehold on the match.

This was the Swiss' 13th tiebreak win in a Grand Slam final, in 15 attempts.

With the young Serb's challenge disintegrating in the third, Federer upped his game to get across the line and become the first player in the Open Era to win four successive US Open titles.
