Its a sad day for all die-hard fans of Roger Federer as his 5 year supremacy at the US Open comes to an end as the 20 year old Argentinian Juan Martin del Potro defeated Federer with a 3-6, 7-6 (7/5), 4-6, 7-6 (7/4), 6-2 victory. Had Federe won, he would have become the first man since Bill Tilden (1920′s) to win the tournament six times in a row.

Del Porto played a strong match, astonishing many as he won his first grand slam. His win was aided by Federer’s unfortunate and less the stellar service. Nonetheless, this was riveting match to watch and cudos to Del Potro for bringing down the 15 time winner .

Win or lose, in the hearts of his fans, Roger Federer will forever remain the greatest player in the history of tennis.
