Hurkacz beats Roger Federer: Record champion Roger Federer crashed in the quarterfinals of Wimbledon. The eight-time title holder from Switzerland lacked any lightness on Wednesday, he completely deservedly lost 3: 6, 6: 7 (4: 7), 0: 6 against Hubert Hurkacz in 1:48 hours.
In his first Grand Slam semi-final on Friday, the Pole will face the Italian Matteo Berrettini or the Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime. Who eliminated Germany’s number one Alexander Zverev in the last sixteen.

Roger Federer Wimbledon dream is over. Since Federer will be 40 years old on August 8. The question of whether he will return to Wimbledon will inevitably arise when he leaves.
It wasn’t until March that the Grand Slam record winner made his comeback. After a year-long injury break with two knee operations and declared the lawn classic in London as a major goal.
In the second match against his great idol, Hurkacz, who had only won one match (six defeats) between his surprising Masters title in Miami in early April and Wimbledon, showed no nervousness. While the 24-year-old played carefree and creatively. Federer hardly found any means against the strong serve of the Pole when he returned.
Roger Federer Wimbledon 9th title dream is over
The longtime world number one did not look confident or even dominant – he often hit balls uncleanly or did badly. The tie-break of the second set was symptomatic, in which Federer left many simple points due to impurities.
Even after that, he did not succeed in releasing his tension. His resistance was broken, and Hurkacz confidently brought the match to an end.
