I can hardly believe it, but Federer was now clearly defeated in 3 sets (The last set is very suspect, injury?)
I watched whole 3rd set and I don't think there was injury involved. Hurkacz played very well after wining that 2nd set, he was full of confidence and he hit some very good shots. Federer was just the opposite, he played mediocre and gave away few cheap points but that is it. I would feel bad if this was his last match. Not nice to go away with 6:0, better to win some small ATP 250 in Basel or something like that and then call it quits.
Thanks for the short summary, unfortunately I could not see the whole game. Sounds like many own mistakes and possibly also lack of fitness and match practice?
@Strongkored I feel you’re right and it’s just his age that’s showing up, and maybe now he should just realise it and call time on his career. Furthermore if he continues to remain adamant, and yet continues then he’ll only cause more embarrassment for himself and therefore I hope better sense prevails and he retires.
Don't forget that Federer came out of injury and didn't have a lot of match practice... I didn't expect him to loose in 3 sets against Hurkacz but I still think that Federer, if he can go back to his old level, can win another grandslam.
I also think it could be due to the lack of fitness, and he has come further in Paris as in Wimbledon than many thought, after 1.5 years it was still a good performance in my opinion.
Nadal had already lost at the French open in 2009 and in 2015 . And he withdrew during the tournament at the third round in 2016. Hence I don't think there is usually much value in odds concerning him.
