Well a horrible game from Federer.
Come on Feddy! You need to control your emotions. Your forehands are in worst condition so far.
Robredo is now serving for the second set. 5-3.
Robredo got the second set also.
The chance of Nadal-Federer QF showdown is fast slipping away. Its been a very poor match from Federer.
Chris Evert : Federer is at the end of his carrier.
ஆறும் அது ஆழம் இல்ல
அது சேரும் கடலும் ஆழம் இல்ல
ஆறும் அது ஆழம் இல்ல
அது சேரும் கடலும் ஆழம் இல்ல
ஆழம் எது அய்யா
அந்த Federer மனசு தான்யா... (2)
அடி அம்மாடி அதன் ஆழம் பாத்ததாரு
அடி ஆத்தாடி அத பாத்த பேர கூறு நீ!
Just one more game. Federer.. its too late to control at this point of time. Anyway, all the very best for Federer.
Robredo beats Federer 7-6, 6-3, 6-4; to meet the winner of the Nadal/Schreiber match...
Robredo wins the battle. Roger walks off. In one way, the fans has to thank Federer. How many times they would watch in the naked eyes the mishits from Federer?
Nadal loses the first set 6-7.
Well life has probably come a full circle for him. It will be interesting to see how Federer goes on from here. He's had his worst year and it is somewhat poetic seeing him fail so often. You cannot be at the top all the time can you? But I am not writing his obituary just yet. Will wait for another slam or two. And btw isn't it 'career' ? :)
David Ferrer outlasts Janko Tipsarevic in a close match (7-6, 3-6, 7-5, 7-6).
Nadal leading the third set with 3-1.
வராதேன்பார் வந்துவிழும் நடால் கையால்
வரம்பெறும் அகலும் பந்து.
OMG!! Feddy vanquished.
Rafa wins 6-7, 6-4, 6-3, 6-1!
Federer self-destructs in fourth-round upset to Robredo at U.S. Open
That this defeat came against Robredo made it all the more stunning. Not that Robredo is a slouch. He’s been ranked as high as No. 5, albeit back in 2006, and this is his seventh trip to the quarter-finals at a major. He made it that far at this year’s French Open by doing something no man had done since 1927, winning three matches in a row after dropping the first two sets of each.
But consider these other facts about Robredo and this matchup: Not only was he 0-10 against Federer until Monday, he’d managed to win only three of the 27 previous sets they’d played. And before Monday, Robredo’s record in the fourth round of the U.S. Open was 0-7. Robredo missed time in 2011 and 2012 because of left leg problems that required surgery, and his ranking fell below 400th.

Whether you accept it or not, Nadal in every single match brings 50% of unreachable deliveries back to the opponent court. . Such skill needs dynamics, foot work and will. Its totally different territory from S&V. Djoko is one another person. They all show us the other dimension of the tennis. An art.
"Nadal Comes Back to Beat Kohlschreiber at US Open"
"While Rafael Nadal was improving to 19-0 on hard courts in 2013 by returning to the U.S. Open quarterfinals, he noticed the scoreboard updates showing how Roger Federer's match on another court was going. In an interview the day before the tournament began, Nadal spoke about how he and Federer 'deserved a final here,' the way they met in four title matches at the French Open, three at Wimbledon, and one at the Australian Open. Nadal won six of those eight, part of his overall 21-10 head-to-head edge. Nadal reiterated that sentiment Monday after eliminating Kohlschreiber. 'Didn't happen. (That doesn't) mean cannot happen in the future. We'll see. Hopefully,' Nadal said. 'But is true that we are getting older, so the chances are less today than five years ago'."

Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal: Requiem for a rivalry
The New Yorker has called their matches "the greatest, most sentimental rivalry in the history of tennis, and, possibly, of sports."

Just saw the highlights of Tommy vs Roger. What was Federer trying to do in the 7th game of the 3rd set with his service? Really unbelievable. Shocked. Lost 4 points in a row on his service.
Why was he being too quick? Being quick is good but being too quick with a sense of urgency to win or to lose!! :(
For past few years, deciphering his thought process and actions have become a tough one. Win or loose does not matter. Even a top seeded player can be bounced in a first or second round of the grand slam. But how much competence he provides on the court is something very important. And I see a gradual decrease in Federer. This is very similar to the occasions Sachin gone through in the past where a former West Indian cricketer even labelled him as a "LBW candidate!". The coach I used to talk nowadays used to say this often. "In tennis, the first opponent is the net. " and Federer in the yesterday's match failed to overcome that in critical/needed situations.
