Berdych pinatalsik si Federer

NEW YORK-- Napatal­sik si top seed Roger Federer sa U.S. Open matapos matalo kay No. 6 Tomas Berdych, 7-6, 6-4, 3-6, 6-3, sa quarterfinal round.

“It couldn’t be better,” sabi ni Berdych sa isang courtside interview. “There is no better feeling. There is no better moment than this one.”

Hindi naman naitago ng 31-anyos na Swiss superstar na si Federer ang kanyang pagkadismaya.

Nagmula si Federer sa paghahari sa Wimbledon noong Hulyo at duma­ting sa New York matapos magkampeon sa Cincinnati Masters.

“I had such an amazing summer. I really thought I was going to come out and play a solid match,”ani Federer. “I didn’t do that tonight. Obviously there is a bit of a letdown now.”

Makakaharap ni Ber­dych sa semifinals si Andy Murray ng Great Britain na umangkin sa Olympic gold medal sa London.
