NEW YORK (Reuters) - Roger Federer will have to forget his long-standing admiration for Gael Monfils on Thursday when the two go head-to-head with a berth in the U.S. Open semi-finals on the line.

Federer owns a 6-2 lifetime record versus Monfils, most recently a three-set win at last month's U.S. Open tune-up event in Cincinnati, but is well aware of the Frenchman’s ability.
