The aura of invincibility that had cloaked roger Federer has been crashed.

"STOP all the cuckoo clocks, silence the cowbells and lower the Jolly Roger to half-mast.

The end of an era arrived at 4.24pm on Centre Court as six-times champion Roger Federer, a proud son of Basel and the finest tennis player of the 21st century, left the orbit of invincibles and became plain Basel Faulty."

As a big Nadal I was sad when he lost. He is the only guy who has beaten Djokovic in 2011.
I was hoping he would knock him out in the semis then Nadal would continue his domination of Mens tennis.
A great tennis player.

...Na hayo matako ya Nadal yanameza suruali yake nyeti...He is always fishing it out and I find it abit embarasing when the whole clan is watching. His designers cant come up with something better....But all the same an excellent player...

Nadal is still in it but what are his chances against Djokovic (if he gets past Andy Murray).

This year alone he has lost in 4 finals and all of them to Djokovic. On the other hand Djokovic has lost 1 game all year, to Roger Federer RF in Frech semis. That is my worry.

..this is Nadal chance, never look for the easy way out ma broda, you wanna beat your stiffest challenger, Tsonga might actually stop him in the semis!!!
