[QUOTE="daniel, post: 2772320, member: 207825"] I wouldn't say end of the line, but it's definitely a reality check. He's faced more and more of these tight matches in the last three years, and age is finally catching up. Combine that with a player who made about 60 of his 90 net attempts, gives you a perfect combination for an upset. He can still have his days of course, but they come with much less frequency, and much less danger than they used to. It wasn't a fluke. We've known an upset was coming eventually. Simon in the fourth round in France, last year here in the fourth round as well. Federer loses lots of confidence and a ton of ranking points from this loss, so it'll be interesting to see how he rebounds. He absolutely needs to have a fantastic showing at the Asian tournaments, and will have to be at least a finalist in the U.S Open to really stay in this sport. :( Daniel [/QUOTE]
