With a “dry” result on the grass at Wimbledon, Federer lost for the first time in his career and his failure in three sets was his first after a 19-year hiatus.
“It just came to our knowledge then. Only he himself can say what caused it. As the saying goes, time does not pass anyone. I do not know if we will see this great man in this field again,” said the three-time champion of Wimbledon, Boris Becker, after a painful failure in his future in professional tennis.
Federer himself claimed that he did not know if it was his swan song at Wimbledon.
“I need to regroup. It goes without saying that we will have to talk about more plans in the coming days,” said a living tennis legend, who assured that he did not regret the decision to return to the court this year after the injury.
In turn, the 24-year-old Polish tennis player reached the semifinals of the Grand Slam series tournament for the first time in his life.
“It’s a super special moment for me, a dream come true,” Hurkacz said.
