World No.9 Roger Federer didn’t enjoy a great comeback at the Wimbledon Championships 2021. Hubert Hurkacz thrashed him in straight sets in the quarter-finals and knocked him out of the tournament. Interestingly, he even bagel’d the Swiss Maestro in the last set.
After the exit from the Wimbledon Championships 2021, Federer is spending some quality time with his family on the island of Losinj in Croatia. His coach, Ivan Ljubicic, is also about to start a tennis academy there soon.
