It is the first time since 2003 that Federer had not reached the semifinals at Flushing Meadows. “I just didn’t come up with the goods tonight,” Federer said. “It was unfortunate.”

Federer’s forehand was way off, while Berdych kept pounding serves and groundstrokes right where he wanted them. It was Berdych’s fourth victory in his past seven meetings against Federer, including in the 2010 Wimbledon quarterfinals.

“There is no better moment than this one so far,” said Berdych, who will face Olympic champion Andy Murray in the semifinals Saturday.
