Federer abuses during US Open final

Serena Williams isn't the only Grand Slam champion using profanity at the US Open: Roger Federer let an expletive fly, too.



In an uncharacteristic display, Federer argued with chair umpire Jake Garner during a changeover in the US Open final yesterday.



He said his opponent, Juan Martin del Potro, was given too much time to challenge a line call.



"I wasn't allowed to challenge after 2 seconds. The guy takes, like, 10," Federer said.

On-court microphones picked up the exchange during its live television broadcast of the match.
