Roger Federer dumped out of US Open by imperious Marin Cilic

The little and large combination of Marin Cilic and Kei Nishikori combined on Saturday night to blow the tennis world off its axis by slaying two of the finest players the game has ever known.
They set up the most unlikely US Open final by downing Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic with two seismic shocks at Flushing Meadows coming in quick succession.
First the 24 year-old Nishikori, just 5' 10" and eleven stone, braved fierce heat and humidity to beat world number one Novak Djokovic 6-4 1-6 7-6 6-3 in two hours and 52 minutes.
Then Cilic, the 6' 6" giant from Croatia who served a doping ban last year, overpowered Federer as the weather turned more stormy, ousting him 6-3 6-4 6-4 in just an hour and three quarters.
Monday's totally unforeseen climax will be the first Slam final since 2005 without a member of the so-called Big Four, and the first in twelve years not to have anyone from the top ten in it.
Cilic, now coached by former Wimbledon champion Goran Ivanisevic, put in a performance of huge aggression that ended with three aces in the final game to take out a bewildered Federer, who had looked on for another Major title.
Meanwhile Nishikori becomes the first player from his country to make a Slam final. He handled the brutal conditions better than the reigning Wimbledon champion, who for once was outlasted.
