TASTE OF DEFEAT:OOOOH...bad day for Roger Federer ..

After stormy and shaky resistance by Lawn tennis champion Roger Federer, he was finally defeated in a  6-3, 6-4, 6-4 by a brilliant Cilic on a gloomy day at Flushing Meadows.

It was Federer’s best chance in years – a golden opportunity to win one more big one without having to defeat either Djokovic or Rafael Nadal, without even having to face a top-10 player along the way.

Cilic was having none of the fairy tale, and the history.

The 25-year-old Croat’s 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 victory was emphatic. It was a no-doubter.

When he stepped up to the line service line to close it out after just an hour and 45 minutes, there appeared to be no doubt creeping in even if coach Goran Ivanisevic looked a little green around the gills up in the players’ box.

Cilic blasted three aces in a row. At match point, he missed his first serve; he took Federer’s return, eased an opposed backhand down the line. And that was it. If Federer had won this match, he wouldn't have top go against Djokovic or Rafael Nadal in the quarter finals. Experts say a Djokovic vs Federer Quarter finals is inevitable but I say #LETTHEBESTWIN

>>>>>>All the same, my dearest sympathy to my champion Federer and a congrats to a lucky chap Cilic.
