Roger Federer was stunned in the US Open 4th round by a great John Millman that surprised with his tennis and his composure during his fight on the Arthur Ashe Stadium.
However, it was pretty clear to everyone that the world no.2 was struggling a lot with the conditions, and apparently the situation quite extreme.
What happened to Federer
ESPN reporter Chris McKendry revealed
“We follow the players all the way to the locker room, he didn’t get there.
He quickly came off the court and went to a door on the right, a holding room usually for players. That is as far as he got.
Before he went in there, he needed to cool down, receive some treatment and make sure the medical staff had a look at him.
He was not feeling well, he took a long time to lay down, try to get his breathing under control.
It was tough, the conditions for the first time got to Roger. I did get to see him afterward in the holding room and he was not well.
It was tough for him on the court because Millman was fit as a daisy. He looked like he was ready to go another couple of sets.”
