The numbers were written to 6-3.7-6 (7-4), 6-0.

It was the first time since 2002 that Federer, who has eight titles in the tournament, lost at Wimbledon in three straight sets.

It is the first time since his debut in 1999 that he has been zeroed in a set.

- I will discuss with my team and see how we can move forward.

I need to get in better shape and in a more competitive condition, says Federer who has 20 Grand Slam wins and is the best in men's history at it.

Although Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic are close with 19.

Federer, who turns 40 in a month, has competed sparingly since the pandemic broke out 1.5 years ago and operated on his knee twice.

"The goal was to play another Wimbledon"

- My goal from last year was to play another Wimbledon.

I'm actually glad I got as far as I did even though I'm disappointed with the loss.

In the tiebreak, Federer made some astonishing mistakes, something the audience has never seen from the Swiss, perfection personified.

- There were some awkward point mistakes there.

It's something we've never seen from him on the center court.

He would never admit that he had any problems.

I do not know if we will see the big man again, says the former champion Boris Becker.
