NEW YORK. Hitting the greatest shot of his amazing career on the penultimate point, Roger Federer advanced to the US Open final by defeating Serbian fourth seed Novak Djokovic. World number one Federer will play for his sixth consecutive US Open title and record-stretching 16th career Grand Slam crown on Monday against Argentine sixth seed Juan Martin del Potro, who is 0-6 lifetime against Federer.
