Wimbledon: Roger Federer lost in the quarter-final on Wednesday, just five weeks shy of his 40th birthday, but insisted that he "won't be rushed" into making a decision about his Wimbledon future.
Roger Federer crashed out of Wimbledon in the quarter-finals at the hands of Poland's Hubert Hurkacz on Wednesday, but insisted he will not be rushed into retirement even with his 40th birthday just five weeks away. Federer, the 20-time Grand Slam title winner, 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 defeat at the tournament in 119 matches and his first straight-sets loss since an opening round exit against Mario Ancic in 2002. It was also the first time he had lost a set 6-0 at Wimbledon and just the third time at a Slam. The other two occasions both came at the French Open -- against Pat Rafter in 1999 and Rafael Nadal in 2008. "I don't know. I really don't know. I've got to regroup," said Federer when asked if his Wimbledon career was over.More Related News
