Peter Bodo of ESPN took time for it to address Federer's inevitable demise within a column following his conquer. Expect that demise to commence later and not just sooner.
Yes, Federer should've overcome Kei. While Federer's cv and name — his fan page on Twitter has over 120, 000 more followers compared to Kei's official account — outweigh the japanese player's by a large margin, Kei isn't a good bum. He's actually graded No. 16 in the world, according to the ATP Country Tour.
Federer wasn't the one star to suffer a letdown within the third round. ATP World No. 1 Novak Djokovicwas bested just by No. 28 Grigor Dimitrov from Bulgaria, a loss the Serbian due to poor preparation.
"I didn't prepare myself so good, " Djokovic said, based on the Los Angeles Times. "For 12 days after Monte Carlo I haven't touched the racquet. "
Federer just won Wimbledon a year ago. That followed a fantastic slam drought which had lasted considering that 2010 Australian Open. If one really wants to predict Federer's demise, they should at least wait until the same drought begins to work out as planned.
He's still the ATP World No. 2. He fell in the final round of the This town Open, not the Foreign Open. There's no need for Federer fans to press the panic buttons.
