Roger Federer cruised into the US Open quarter-finals, thrashing 15th seed David Goffin 6-2 6-2 6-0 in just 78 minutes.
The Swiss five-time champion fell a break down early in the first set but then won six games in a row to establish control in the fourth-round match.
Federer, 38, hit 34 winners while Belgian Goffin could only manage eight.
He will face Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov in the last eight.
Dimitrov, a former world number three whose ranking has dropped to 78, beat Australian Alex de Minaur 7-5 6-3 6-4.
Federer said of his win: “It was great. David didn't have his best day either, he was struggling. I was down on the score early so had to come back mentally.
“But then when I was up a break I started to feel like he wasn’t playing the same way and I was very happy with my level of play.” (BBC)
