Tennis: Federer takes down Anderson, 6-0 6-4, to reach semis in Miami

Roger Federer is back in the Miami semifinals, the No. 4 seed winning the first eight games of his match and eventually ousting sixth-seeded Kevin Anderson, 6-0 6-4, on Thursday night. He won a marathon ninth game of the final set to break Anderson for a 5-4 lead, then served it out at love. Federer is 37 years old. That's the combined age of the two Canadian teens in the men's semifinals _ Shapovalov, 19, will face Federer on Friday night, and the 18-year-old Felix Auger-Aliassime will meet defending Miami champion John Isner of the U.S. earlier Friday. Anderson hadn't lost a set 6-0 since October 2016 _ 353 sets ago. He rallied from a break down to get back on serve in the second, before Federer took control at the end.
