Federer is www.cheapuggbootssky.co.uk ousted Merrimack Valley EagleTribune
Open rain delay may have cheapbuyuggbootsuk.co.uk been an occasion to contemplate why the two best male tennis players of their generation never have played each other on the big Flushing Meadows stage.
But once the weather cleared and Roger Federer had to endure a thorough 76 (3), 63, 64 fourthround thrashing at the hands of Tommy Robredo, it could be time to mull whether Federer, who has slipped to No. 7 in the world at 32, and Rafael Nadal, 27, ever will tangle in America's Grand Slam event.
They have dueled 10 times in the three other majors, eight times in finals and twice in semifinals (with Nadal ahead, 82). At this stage of their careers, it isn't clear whether a Federer win over Nadal in a major might inoculate him against the talk, gone viral, about impending retirement.
Or if a Nadal win would cement the argument that he still behind Federer in major titles but with a decisive 2110 headtohead lead has gotten an edge in the sport's "greatest ever" argument?"
Federer has won a record 17 Slam events, Nadal 12, and if Nadal "gets around 15 or 16, then that's a good argument," said Mike Bryan, pursuing a 2013 Grand Slam sweep in doubles with his twin, Bob.
But Monday night, with a FedererNadal contretemps a tantalizing one round away, Robredo, the 31yearold Spaniard ranked 22nd in the world, changed the subject entirely. His steadier play, and Federer's maddening inability to convert a breakpoint opportunity he got only 2 of 16 kept Federer constantly off balance.
Federer made 43 unforced errors against Robredo, who was 010 against him and had won only three of the 27 previous sets they'd played.
Because of the 4hour rain delay, they were moved to Louis Armstrong Stadium, allowing cheapuggbootsonlinestore.co.uk the NadalPhilipp Kohlschreiber evening match to start on time at Arthur Ashe Stadium.
Federer insisted that neither the extended wait "I've waited for so many matches in my career," nor the setting were issues, that he was "even happy" to play in that cozier room, where the overflow crowd in excess of 10,000 could create a stirring atmosphere.
"But I didn't show the game that the crowd could really get into and excited about," he said. "Without taking any credit away from Tommy, I kind of selfdestructed, which is very disappointing."
