NEW YORK: Roger Federer and Serena Williams came through their first real tests at the U.S. Open on Saturday with flying colours as the casualty toll at the last grand slam of the year soared to record numbers.
The former world number ones both faced dangerous opponents but survived to fight another day, advancing safely to the fourth round at Flushing Meadows.
Their performances were not perfect but still sent an ominous warning to their younger rivals about their intentions to add to their stockpile of major championships.
