Another set, another early break for Roger Federer.
The five-time defending U.S. Open champ broke Juan Martin del Potro in the first game of the second set then held off multiple point in the fourth game to take a 3-1 lead in the second set of the men's final.
Some minor controversy ensued on the third deuce point of the fourth game when Federer served an ace that was called back after del Potro broke his stance due to seeing a cup fall from the crowd. The point was replayed and Federer lost, which gave del Potro his second of three eventual break points. He was unable to capitalize.
They were the Argentine's first break points of the match.
