Federer back to winning ways

NEW YORK: After Roger Federer proved that reports of his demise as a grand slam champion were greatly exaggerated, the Swiss sipped champagne with friends and family to celebrate his fifth successive US Open title.

"I played great, I felt like I was invincible for awhile again," the 27-year-old Federer said after his 6-2, 7-5, 6-2 thumping of young Briton Andy Murray in Monday's men's final.
