NEW YORK -- It was only two days ago we lauded Roger Federer as a Jedi master for his flawless win over Nick Kygrios. We marveled at Federer's impossible forehands and how he float-dances from baseline to net. Monday night against world No. 55 John Millman, Federer racked up 76 unforced errors.
He struggled on serve and looked slow, sluggish and frustrated throughout a 3-6, 7-5, 7-6 (7), 7-6 (3), fourth-round loss, his earliest exit at the US Open since 2013. It was a stunning 180 by the 20-time Grand Slam champ, who had all in attendance wondering what had gone so wrong.
