Roger Federer's Early US Open Exit: The End of His Era?
In the wake of Roger Federer’s untimely fourth round exit in the 2013 US Open, a single word resonated above all. TV commentator and former World no.1 John McEnroe kept lobbing the term “mystique” towards the audience, as if it were another fuzzy tennis ball waiting to be served. The term does have a ring to it, as it encapsulated Federer’s unparalleled dominance in the sport since the turn of the millennium.
Tommy Robredo had no business facing Federer. Whether Federer would admit it or not, the 19th seeded Robredo was merely the final roadblock that stood in the way between Federer and a first-ever showdown against Rafael Nadal at Flushing Meadows. Instead, the 31-year-old Spaniard put on a stunning display, not only upsetting Federer, but also doing so in straight sets, 7-6 (3), 6-3, 6-4.
Rafa Nadal crushes Tommy Robredo to reach US Open semifinals

It was the fewest games in a US Open quarter-final since Ivan Lendl's defeat of Derrick Rostagno 6-2, 6-2, 6-0 in 1988.

No More Grand Slam win for Roger Federer, says John McEnroe
John McEnroe finds it hard to envisage Roger Federer adding to his record 17 grand slam titles and believes the Swiss maestro is showing signs of slowing down.
The 32-year-old Federer heads into next week's U.S. Open seeded seventh, his first time outside the top three in any slam in the past decade, and his recent form offers no suggestion of a quick improvement at Flushing Meadows in New York.
