This is their first meeting in a Grand Slam with their previous three matches decided in a third set tie-break. Federer is 16-1 in US Open 3R matches with his lone defeat in this round coming in his 2000 debut (l. to Ferrero).

The ATP World Tour’s ace leader, No. 7 seed Ivo Karlovic, meets a resurgent Ernests Gulbis, who is seeking his first semi- final appearance of the season.
