Five-time champion Roger Federer is out of the US Open. Federer had won all seven of his previous meetings with Grigor Dimitrov but the Bulgarian fought back to win 3-6 6-4 3-6 6-4 6-2.
Federer didn’t hide his disappointment at a missed opportunity for a sixth US Open crown.
“Just disappointed it's over because I did feel like I was actually playing really well after a couple of rocky starts. It's just a missed opportunity to some extent that you're in the lead, you can get through, you have two days off after. It was looking good,” Federer said.
“But got to take the losses. They're part of the game. Looking forward to family time and all that stuff, so... Life's all right.”
