On July 7, 2021 Hubert Hurkacz 6-3 6-3 6-0 on Center Court at Wimbledon Roger Federer. Since his victory over Lorenzo Songo in the 16th round, no one thought that the Swiss event would be the last single, no one thought that he would live another time on the fields of the championship.
The twenty-time Grand Slam champion bids farewell to Laver Cup doubles tennis with Nadal this weekend, leaving a place in ‘Team Europe’ Matteo Berretini.
Federer: Last career defeat against Hurcak
It was not easy for Federer, how the last set on the grass courts was basically a nightmare, but not so for Paul.
During the interview, he tried to tell the other side of the coin with some shyness. “I hope you’ll forgive me for being the last man to beat Federer,” Hurcak said during the interview.
Seriously, playing with him at Wimbledon, with the center court stands packed, was incredible. I still have a cold, but I hope that I won’t be remembered for this in my career.
Then the third ended like this. As we clearly know, Federer will be remembered for his performance, not because he took 6-0 from me.
It’s everyone’s dream to emulate him. But there will never be another Roger Federers. He was my idol when I was young, but it’s impossible to emulate him.
