Roger Federer was comprehensively beaten by the Spaniard Tommy Robredo in straight sets 7-6, 6-3 and 6-4.
It was sad to see a great Champion struggling to stay with Robredo. Nothing was working for Roger. He could not convert the numerous break points he won. In fact nothing wa working for him.
At the end a very steady Robredo won and entered the Quarterfinals of the US Open for the first time.
Further this was the first time Tommy Robredo beat Roger Federer. Their head to head stats now read 1-10.
It wasn't a great or even a good match. The numerous unforced errors by Roger Federer was a dampner. For us, the spectators, we came away in disbelief at the very poor performance of Roger Federer. Maybe we felt let down. Or maybe we felt cheated out of a good match.
I think its time to bring down the curtain on the Roger Federer era.
Its sad to call for an end to an era which has given us so much excitement and fun.
But all good things must come to an end.
And I recommend that future Grand Slam Tournaments take into account Roger Federer's current results rather than the WTA or whatever other rankings they use to determine the seedings.
We the need to see games being more competitive and exciting for the spectators.
