Isner called the way that tiebreaker went "surprising."

"That was a lot on me," Isner said, covering his face with his left hand. "He had a lot to do with that, as well."

Federer also broke to close out the match, ending the 13th-seeded Isner's streak of 110 consecutive service holds at Flushing Meadows over the last two years.

"The break clearly was nice, but I kind of felt it was coming," said Federer, who went 0 for 9 on break points until converted his 10th. "He was maybe not having as much energy anymore."

With Isner gone, and 68th-ranked American Donald Young eliminated 6-4, 1-6, 6-3, 6-4 by Wawrinka earlier Monday, it's the 16th Grand Slam tournament in a row with zero men from the U.S. in the quarterfinals.
