Swiss tennis ace Roger Federer went on to secure a spot in round 2 of the ongoing US Open on Monday after he beat India's world number 190 Sumit Nagal 4-6, 6-1, 6-2, 6-4.
The Swiss third seed, who has won the US Open five times, was surprisingly rusty at the start and went on to produce 19 unforced errors and dropped the first set against Sumit Nagal. But the 38-year-old tennis veteran bounced back from the slow start and soon found his rhythm to pull off his 1,224th career victory and book a meeting with Bosnia's Damir Dzumhur in the next round of the US Open.
