Roger Federer vs Kevin Anderson LIVE: Miami Open updates persistent RAIN delays Swiss star

Federer dispatched Daniil Medvedev with ease in the fourth round but knows Anderson will provide a stern test this evening.

He said: “Yeah, I mean, I think it’s going to be a bit tricky, you know.

“He’s got a great serve, so you go back to big-serve mentality to try to hold your own service games first before thinking about how to break Kevin.

“Had a tough one against him at Wimbledon when I lost. Was able to come back and play a good match against him in London when I really had to in that round-robin match.

“But, you know, I think I’m feeling really good. Today’s match I can be really happy with. I hope it’s going to give me some confidence.”

22:35: Play is back underway on Hard Rock Stadium between Anett Kontaveit and Ashleigh Barty. It’s currently 2-2 in the first set.

22:15: The most recent update from the Miami Open organisers is that the blowers are out drying the courts.

22:00: Hello and welcome to live coverage of Roger Federer’s quarter-final clash against Kevin Anderson.

The players are due on court at around 11pm (UK) but that doesn’t look like it will be happening due to rain.
