This would not be an ideal way for Roger Federer to end his historic time at Wimbledon.

The eight-time champ fell to Hubert Hurkacz in straight sets — 6-3, 7-6, 6-0 — in the quarterfinals of Wimbledon on Wednesday afternoon in a stunning upset.

After the match, Federer was non-committal about his future beyond this year.

“I don’t know. I really don’t know. I’ve got to regroup,” Federer said.

Federer’s performance was not representative of his traditional level of play, particularly at the All-England Club. He made numerous blunders, including slipping in a crucial tiebreaker point in the second set, sending what should have been a sitter barreling into his own side of the court. This blunder marked a distinct shift in the match where Federer’s play took a sharp downward turn as he lost every game in the third set.

The No. 6-seeded Federer — who had multiple knee procedures in 2020 and exited the French Open early because of the knee — struggled throughout the entire matchup, missing key shots against the 24-year-old Polish upstart.

“The last few games, obviously, you can feel that you’re not coming back from it,” Federer said. “I’m not used to that kind of situation, obviously, very much. Especially not here.”

However, the matchup started quite evenly as the pair traded games. After trailing 5-2 in the first set, it appeared like Federer would be able to make the comeback as he reached 40-0 in the seventh game. While Federer won the game, he missed a forehand from Hurkacz to drop the set.

Federer came roaring back in the second set, starting it off 3-0. Hurkacz, however, capitalized on his opponent’s mistakes and his formidable serve to tie the set back up 5-5, and eventually into a tiebreaker.

Hurkacz — who defeated world No. 2 Daniil Medvedev on Tuesday — out-aced Federer 10 to five. Federer blasted sloppy forehands wide of the mark consistently throughout the match and missed two volleys in the second set tiebreak.

The 14th-seeded Hurkacz truly shined in the third set in sweeping Federer, who continued to struggle by missing numerous forehands.

This was the first time in 19 years that the Swiss player had lost at SW19 in straight sets, his first time ever losing a set 0-6. Federer holds the record for the most men’s Wimbledon titles at eight. His loss increased the already likely odds of world No. 1 Novak Djokovic clinching his 20th majors title to tie with Federer.

Prior to Wimbledon, Hurkacz lost six consecutive matches. Now, a victory over his idol catapulted him into his first Grand Slam semifinals.

Hurkacz will now face either No. 7 Matteo Berrettini or No. 16 Felix Auger-Aliassime in Friday’s semifinals.
