It marked Federer’s earliest US Open exit since he fell in straight sets to Tommy Robredo in the fourth round in 2013.

It was the first time Australian Millman had ever beaten Federer and the last eight of a Grand Slam represents his best major performance.

Federer was off colour all match and made over 70 unforced errors as his hunt for a sixth title at Flushing Meadows ended in the last 16.

“I have so much respect for Roger and everything he’s done for the game. He’s been a hero of mine, and today he was definitely not at his best,” Millman said, “but, you know, I’ll take it.”



So much for that highly anticipated matchup between Federer and 13-time major champion Novak Djokovic in the quarterfinals. Instead, it’ll be the 55th-ranked Millman, an Australian who had never made it past the third round at a Slam until last week, taking on No. 6 seed Djokovic.
