Federer was the first to advance with an outstanding 6-3 6-3 6-1 win over Gasquet in which he did not face a single break point over the course of the encounter.

The former World No. 1 was rarely troubled over the course of just an hour and a half, edging closer to another final and a shot at a sixth US Open title.

For Wawrinka, any fears of Anderson repeating the giant-killing heroics which ended Andy Murray’s Flushing Meadows run were quickly ended with an equally impressive 6-4 6-4 6-0 victory.

Having laboured past opponents in earlier rounds, the French Open winner found form to combat Anderson’s giant serve and ensure another high-profile clash with compatriot Federer.

In the other semi-final, pre-tournament favourite Novak Djokovic will face defending champion Marin Cilic for the chance to face one of the Swiss pair in Sunday’s final.
