This may be the case, but look how far he still got in the tournament. This loss is going to motivate Federer. He knows that he can be beat on the big stage and, as a result, he will now be on a mission the rest of this year. I think Wimbledon is a given, but I wouldn't be surprised if he won the U.S. Open again. The French is another story, but he can make it the distance there.


i agree, i think this loss is only going to solidify his dominance in the remaining slams this year. i wouldn't be surprised to see him win the french after this. he's not really falling off yet, he was making uncharacteristic mistakes the entire tournament.

Everyone is going to have an off day....it's how you respond and recover from it. In Federer's case, he didn't have the best tournament and still made it to the semi-finals which is pretty impressive. I don't think he is dropping off at all. People just expect him to win every tournament b/c he has had an amazing run over the past 3 years. I think he is eventually going to blow Sampras' record out the water.
