Roger Federer made short work of Andy Roddick this time, beating the American 6-2, 6-4 in the Swiss Indoors semifinals in their first rematch since the epic 2009 Wimbledon final.
Federer broke Roddick’s serve twice in each set and served 13 aces to the American’s four.
Federer improved his career record to 20-2 against Roddick. His last victory at Wimbledon was considerably tougher, going to 16-14 in the fifth set.
Only retired greats Boris Becker and Ivan Lendl have more victories against a single opponent in the past 30 years.
Federer will face Novak Djokovic in Sunday’s final after the defending champion beat his Serbian Davis Cup teammate Viktor Troicki 7-6 (4), 6-4.
