London: For the first time in Roger Federer’s career history, he dropped a set 0-6 at Wimbledon. The 40-year-old Swiss, who won his last Wimbledon in 2017, was beaten 3-6, 6-7 and 0-6 by Hubert Herkaz in the quarterfinals.
This has sent shock waves to the tennis world. People can’t believe that Roger Federer can be defeated in straight sets at Wimbledon without winning a single game in the last set.
Federer has won 20 Grand Slams, but his last Slam came in 2018 when he won the Australian Open. He won his last Wimbledon in 2017. After winning so much, losing in the quarter-finals like this makes people wonder whether Federer will ever win another Grand Slam. Asked if this could be Federer’s last Wimbledon, he said, “I don’t know. I really don’t know. I have to regroup. My goal was always to try and play another Wimbledon. I don’t know.” Was able to make it this year, which I am really happy about. Everything that comes after that will have to sit down and talk.”
Take a look at some of the reactions on social media to Federer’s defeat:
Nonetheless, it was a career-defining moment for Hubert Herkaz, who idolized Federer for most of his life. Defeating the great man must have been something for him.
Novak Djokovic, on the other hand, won his 10th Wimbledon quarterfinal. With this win, he has come even closer to his 20th Grand Slam title. If he wins it, he will be equal to Nadal and Federer in 20 Grand Slams.
