Roger Federer had a perfect 10-0 record against Tommy Robredo heading into their fourth-round match at the 2013 U.S. Open. 

The Spaniard was evidently tired of having those numbers thrown in his face. 

Robredo broke Federer's serve in the first game of the match, setting the tone for a dominant straight-sets victory. With his 7-6 (7-3), 6-3, 6-4 victory, Robredo made sure Federer was eliminated before the quarterfinals at Flushing Meadows for the first time since 2003. 

ATP World Tour's Twitter account confirmed the stunning upset with this post:



Ben Rothenberg of The New York Times added his own commentary on the outcome:



Federer had nearly as many unforced errors (43) as he did winners (45) in the match. He was unable to find a consistent return game and converted only two of 16 chances to record break points against his opponent. 

SNY's Adam Zagoria had a Federer quote after the match, and the five-time U.S. Open champion shouldered all of the blame when looking back at the way he finished his 2013 Grand Slam season:



Are we seeing the end of an era?

Federer is without a doubt one of the greatest tennis stars of all time, but he's looked human during a season in which we've all been waiting for him to pull out the Superman cape. 



As the U.S. Open's Twitter account noted, it was a packed house at Armstrong Stadium on Monday night, and Fed's upset didn't mellow the rocking atmosphere:



Boasting his unbeaten record against Robredo and three straight impressive victories to reach the Round of 16, many in attendance figured Federer would cruise against his opponent and wait patiently for his next foe, which would've been decided later in the evening.

That thought was quickly negated.
