Roger Federer has been sent packing at the US Open by Australian John Millman in the fourth round.
Millman defeated Federer 3-6 7-5 7-6 (9-7) 7-6 (7-3) in three hours 35 minutes.
This is the first time Federer has lost to a player ranked outside top 50 at the US Open.
Millman, who is the only unseeded player left in the last eight expressed his excitement at the end of the match
“I’m probably in a little bit of disbelief,” said Millman.
“I have so much respect for Roger and everything he’s done for the game. He’s been a hero of mine.”.
Federer said he struggled with the weather after the end of the match
“It was very hot and one of those nights where I felt I couldn’t get air,” he said.
“I just struggled in the conditions and it was one of the first times it has happened to me.
“You just keep sweating and lose energy. At some point, I was just happy the match was over.”
