US Open - Federer: I missed chances
The numbers tell the story of Roger Federer's stunning loss in the final of the US Open: 62 unforced errors, 50 per cent first serves, 11 double faults.

"I tried everything, didn't work," Federer said after his shocking 3-6 7-6 4-6 7-6 6-2 loss on Monday to 20-year-old Juan Martin del Potro. "I missed chances."

After five successive US Open titles and 40 straight victories at Flushing Meadows, few expected the man many consider to be the best tennis player ever to look so mortal.

The Swiss with 15 Grand Slam trophies sprayed the ball long and wide. In the fifth set, when Federer is normally at his steely best, he had three double faults and no aces and went down quietly on a service break in the last game.

Federer, 28, had Del Potro on the ropes early, up one set and serving for the second at 5-4, 30-love. But the Swiss maestro could not close the door on the youngster appearing in his first Grand Slam final.

"I had him under control for the first two sets," said Federer. "I should never have lost so many chances. It was just a pity. If I win the second set, I'm in a great position to come through.

"Unfortunately, I didn't and that was it."

New Yorkers love Federer but the 25,000 crammed into Arthur Ashe Stadium were solidly supporting Del Potro, perhaps believing a changing of the guard was at hand.

Men's tennis could use a fresh face to challenge Federer and Rafael Nadal and the lanky Argentine with the scraggly beard could hold that honour after beating them on consecutive days.

Del Potro yielded only six games while pummelling Nadal in the semi-finals on Sunday before following it up against the world number one in mankind's largest tennis arena.

"It's always an amazing effort coming through and winning in your first final," said Federer, who won this year's French Open and Wimbledon titles.

"I've got to give him all the credit because it's not an easy thing to do, especially coming out against someone like me with so much experience."

While it was obvious Federer was bitterly disappointed, he tipped his hat to the youngster.

"It was tough luck today, but Juan Martin played great," he said. "He hung in there and gave himself chances, and in the end was the better man."
