Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic produced utterly dominant performances to overcome the challenges of Stanislas Wawrinka and Marin Cilic in straight sets and set up a repeat of the 2007 US Open final.

Federer saved a crucial break point in his opening service game (the only one he faced all match) and then broke Wawrinka in the very next game and never looked back, racing through all three sets in just 92 minutes to beat his friend and compatriot 6-4 6-3 6-1.

The world No. 5 played some good tennis during the first set and led several times on Federer’s serve without breaking through. Wawrinka will surely regret not capitalizing on those half-chances, considering what happened in the rest of the match.

The 17-time Grand Slam champion really stepped it up in the second set, winning 81% of the points on his serve and never letting Wawrinka get anywhere near a break of serve. After clawing back to hold from 0-40 on his serve in game five, the Swiss No. 2 finally succumbed to the relentless pressure from his opponent in game seven when he lost his serve to love. And Federer never looked back, winning nine of the last 10 games in typically stylish fashion to seal a straightforward win and reach his first final at Flushing Meadows since 2009.

Djokovic made even lighter work of Cilic, who appeared to be struggling with an ankle injury picked up in his fourth-round clash with Jeremy Chardy. He bageled the Croatian in the opening set, pinning him to the back of the court with lethally accurate groundstrokes and causing him to spray errors all around the cavernous Arthur Ashe Stadium.

Things hardly got any better for Cilic in the second set as, although he managed to win one game, he made even more unforced errors and looked incapable of making any impression in the match. Djokovic, on the other hand, seemed in total control and made only three unforced errors in the set as he clinched it with ease, leaving himself only a set away from the final just 53 minutes after he stepped onto court.

The world No. 9 delayed Djokovic slightly longer in the third set, when he broke the Serb’s serve in the fourth game to win his third and last game of the match. But it all ended very quickly after that. The 2015 Australian Open and Wimbledon champion raced through the last four games to seal his place in the final. Defending champion Cilic, meanwhile, left proceedings faced with an uncomfortable statistic:  he had just lost by the largest margin ever recorded in a US Open men’s semifinal.
