The King was Dethroned

So I woke up 4am today to catch US Open Men's final Federer vs Del Potro
Federer started off really good, he played many nice shots, and eventually took the first set.
I was thinking of a straight sets win, but the Argentine forced the 2nd set into the tie brake and took the 2nd set.
No straight sets, maybe 4 sets I think. But the Argentine was playing at the top of his game which then took the match to the fifth and deciding set.
It was really disappointing to see how Federer played in the final set.
Double faults, unforced errors, and then a 3-6 loss =(
Seriously, Federer was on the upper hand at the beginning of the match
and I really thought that he will win the title, making it his 16th title in his career, and 6 consecutive wins in the US Open.
Oh well, it's all over now. The results were set at 6-3, 6-7, 6-4, 3-6.
