Script: SOUNDBITE (English): Roger Federer, defeated Richard Gasquet 6-3, 6-3, 6-1:

"Maybe at my age to run through, you know, five opponents the way I have done here at the US Open, I don't consider that normal, to be quite honest, even though I expect it in some ways for myself to come out and play well. I've played so well over the last one-and-a-half years. I don't feel like I'm as old as I am. I still feel young. So it's nice to get rewarded with the hard work and, you know, that actually I'm able to play sort of fun tennis, I maybe call it for myself. Aggressive, pick it up, you know, like half volley it, move in, serve and volley, cut the points short, and if I want to, extend the rallies. But it feels like on my terms. Then if you win this way, it's a great feeling."

SOUNDBITE (English): Roger Federer, defeated Richard Gasquet 6-3, 6-3, 6-1, on how it will take a massive effort from an opponent to beat him:

"I believe Stan (Wawrinka) can bring it, you know. That's my No. 1 focus, that I make it as hard as possible for him to beat me. Personally I'm very happy with where my game is at. It's just a matter of keeping it up and adjusting to Stan now."

SOUNDBITE (English): Roger Federer, defeated Richard Gasquet 6-3, 6-3, 6-1, on facing someone he knows so well in Wawrinka:

"Honestly, emotionally it's not so hard for me. I have always found it quite not easy, but it's just another match. I'm able to see it that way somehow with him. But then of course subconsciously you know he knows what your preferences are, where you like to go, where you're probably going to go. Probably he feels the same way. That's the weird part. I feel we meet each other somewhere in our minds before the point is being played out. So that's odd sometimes, but otherwise it's pretty straightforward for me. I enjoy the matches, because always that means one of us moves on. For Swiss it's huge that we have two guys in the semis of the US Open, a huge tournament, biggest arena in the world. It's what it's all about. I think we are both very much pumped up that's the case. Only better scenario would have been in the finals, but this is already very, very good. We are very proud of that."
