London: Roger Federer crashed from Wimbledon Poland in quarter finals Hubert Herkácz On Wednesday, the Swiss legend is likely to unveil All England Club Carrier.
Federer, 20 times Grand Slam The title winner, who turns 40 the following month, lost 6-3, 7-6 (7/4), 6-0 to a player 15 years his junior.

It was only the eight-time Wimbledon champion’s 14th loss of the tournament in 119 matches and his first straight-sets loss since a first-round exit against Mario Encic in 2002.

It was also the first time they had lost a set 6–0 at Wimbledon.
“It’s so special to play Roger here, it’s like a dream come true,” Harkaz said.
“He did a lot of special things here.”
The 24-year-old Hurkaz, world number 18, had never progressed past the third round of a Grand Slam before this Wimbledon.
However, buoyed by a five-set defeat to world number two Daniil Medvedev in the last 16, he broke up with a dull-looking Federer in the sixth game of the opening set.
The Swiss star, who underwent two knee surgeries in 2020, took a 2-0 break in the second set.
He could not hold on and Harkaz drew 1-4 in the seventh game before dominating the tiebreak.
Federer looked intoxicated and was quickly down 0-2 in the third set, before Harkaz won the decider in just 29 minutes.
He is only the second Polish man to reach the semi-finals at Wimbledon – Jerzy Janowicz was second in 2013.
It will then face either Italy’s Matteo Berrettini or Canada’s Felix Auger-Aliasime for a place in Sunday’s final.
Former champion Boris Becker commented on Federer’s performance, saying, “I noticed the wrong hits from Roger, the odd looking points and of course the final set, 6-0.”
“He’ll never say if someone swallows, but I don’t know if we’ll ever see the great man here again.”
