Federer Gets Comfortable With Festive US Open

Roger Federer has made another successful switch to the carnival-like action of the US Open, with the focused Swiss world No. 1 quietly going about his business of trying to claim a sixth title at the frenetic event

Federer is simply going with the flow and keeping a discreet distance from as many non-tennis factors as possible. "The distractions are big here just because you almost enjoy your time too much," said the 17-time Grand Slam champion.
