John Millman is on the verge of the best win of his career, leading Roger Federer 3-6, 7-5, 7-6(7) in the fourth round of the US Open. The World No. 55 has never beaten an opponent inside the Top 10 of the ATP Rankings (0-10).
This brewing upset could throw a wrench in a potential quarter-final blockbuster between Federer and two-time champion Novak Djokovic. The five-time winner has missed the quarter-finals in Flushing Meadows just once in his past 13 appearances.
Federer led 6-3, 5-4, 40/15 on his serve, but he was unable to convert his two set points. The Aussie has taken advantage of a lackluster serving night by the Swiss, who has appeared to struggle with the brutal humidity. The 37-year-old also had a set point in the third-set tie-break, but was unable to take advantage of a Millman second serve.
