• Evans reluctant to accuse friend after 6-2, 6-2, 6-1 defeat
Roger Federer reacted angrily on Friday when it was suggested he had pressured the US Open to schedule his third-round match against Dan Evans at noon. The five-times champion won the contest in an hour and 20 minutes, the shortest completed match of the tournament.
“I have heard this shit too often now,” Federer said, in an uncharacteristic outburst. “I’m sick and tired of it – that apparently I call the shots.”
