As the US Open heats up, crowd favorites from the men’s tournament crash out one by one. American Andy Roddick bids goodbye to tennis, following a loss to seventh-seeded Argentinian Juan Martin Del Potro who bested him 6-7 (7/1), 7-6 (7/4), 6-2, 6-4. Roddick bowed out of the tournament and the sport as he failed to make the quarterfinals. Last week, he announced his retirement after 12 years in the sport, vowing this would be his last tournament. Roddick is the last American man to win a Grand Slam event, when he won the US Open in 2003. Meanwhile, Swiss legend and world number one Roger Federer’s dream to become the first man in over 8 decades to win 6 US Opens was cut short by Czech Tomas Berdych. Sixth-seeded Berdych downed Federer in 4 sets, 7-6 (7/1), 6-4, 3-6, 6-3, handing the 17-time Grand Slam winner his earliest exit from the tournament in 9 years. Federer won his 7th Wimbledon title earlier in June. Berdych will meet British Andy Murray on Sunday, September 9, for a spot in the finals.
