This year's US Open was the tournament for upsets. Dimitrov, who once upon a time was called "Baby Fed" due to their similar play styles, took on Federer in their eighth career meeting, in New York. The 28-year-old was a significant underdog, having never beaten the Swiss even once.
After a quick 25-minute first set, the match was seemingly going to be like any other between the two: a quick win by Federer. But, something switched in Dimitrov and what was supposed to be a simple victory became a drawn-out war, culminating in a five-set win for the Bulgarian, 3-6, 6-4, 3-6, 6-4, 6-2.
