Roger Federer dismantled Novak Djokovic to reach the US Open final last night and in so doing played what he described as his best ever point.

Running back to the baseline to chase a Djokovic lob, the reigning champion played one of those back-to-the-net, through-the-legs close-your-eyes-and-pray type shots that would normally end in tears (and a high-pitched voiced) for any mere mortal.

Not so Federer. He not only returned the ball but conjured up a pass that left his opponent gasping. Watch it by clicking here.
