Federer in Trouble! Pushed to Fifth Set by No. 23 Igor Andreev [Update]
Unbelievable. Like Novak Djokovic earlier today, Roger Federer has been pushed to a fifth set, but this match is even tighter. We're in the stands, and we'll be reporting live with updates. Federer has won 30 consecutive matches at the U.S. Open. The last time he lost was in 2003.UPDATE: Federer is up 3-0 in the fifth set now. When he broke Andreev's serve in the second game, it's probably the loudest I've heard this stadium. Ever.UPDATE II: It's 5-2 Federer. Andreev had four break points on Federer's serve in the seventh game at 4-2, but capitalized on none of them. On the last break point, Andreev hit a soft lob directly behind Federer, and as Roger scampered back to it and saw that it fell about a millimeter outside of the baseline he screamed, probably out of sheer relief,"IT'S OUT!"
