09/06/2008 - Flushing Meadows, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Roger Federer outlasted Novak Djokovic Saturday and kept alive his chances for a fifth straight U.S. Open title.

The second-seeded and reigning four-time champion Federer downed the third- seeded Novak Djokovic 6-3, 5-7, 7-5, 6-2 in a semifinal that was moved up an hour to 11 a.m. (et) because of Tropical Storm Hanna's imminent arrival.

The other semifinal, between top-ranked Rafael Nadal and sixth-seeded Andy Murray, was moved to Louis Armstrong court and started during the Federer/Djokovic match, in order to finish up before Hanna and its torrential rain reached the area.
