Andy Murray recently raved about Federer<\/a> and a period when he was unplayable, with the Swiss superstar a constant threat whenever he was on the tennis tour. <\/p>\n With the Cincinnati Open<\/a> getting underway for the top players right now, it feels poignant to look back at one of Federer\u2019s greatest ever tournaments. <\/p>\n Federer<\/a> was dominant on a number of occasions at the peak of his powers and in 2015, he absolutely blew the field away at the Cincinnati Open. <\/p>\n The eight-time Wimbledon<\/a> champion raced through the draw and lifted the title without dropping his serve once during the tournament. <\/p>\n Federer defeated Roberto Bautista Agut, Kevin Anderson, Feliciano Lopez, Andy Murray<\/a> and Novak Djokovic<\/a> without the loss of a single set. <\/p>\n He won the Cincinnati Open seven times and quite clearly he absolutely loved playing in the warm-up event ahead of the US Open, with Federer losing in a 2018 final against Djokovic. <\/p>\n Federer thrashes Djokovic in the Cincinnati Open final in 2015<\/p>\n This was a clash between the top two seeds and in fairness, it was likely anticipated that it would be a closer affair, with Djokovic actually starting as the top seed. <\/p>\n Federer wasn\u2019t in the mood for messing around though, and managed to come through the match in straight sets, winning 7-6, 6-3. <\/p>\n The Swiss performer was unreal throughout the tournament and after the match, he was interviewed, where he stated that this was the \u2018perfect tournament\u2019 from his point of view. <\/p>\n Federer wasn\u2019t at his glittering best in 2015 and failed to win a Grand Slam title. However, by winning in Cincinnati in such dominant circumstances, he offered the tour a glimpse of what he was still capable of. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There are not many superlatives that haven\u2019t been exhausted when it comes to Roger Federer.
