Wimbledon Quarterfinals: Hubert Hurkacz defeats his idol Roger Federer to enter semifinals- Hubert Hurkacz of Poland has defeated his idol Roger Federer to progress to the semifinals of the Wimbledon 2021. He won the match after dominating the eight-time champion in all 3 sets. Next up for Hubert Hurkacz is either Italy’s Matteo Berrettini or Canada’s Felix Auger-Aliassime.
The dream is over. And at the age of 39, will this be the last we see of Roger Federer on Wimbledon’s Centre Court? The Swiss No.6 seed’s bid to become the oldest man to reach the semi-finals at The Championships in the Open era was ended by a rival junior to him in years and experience.
An ovation for 22 years of memories 👏

Hubert Hurkacz, just 24 and making his third Wimbledon appearance, refused to let the occasion get to him as he progressed to the last four at the expense of the eight-time champion.
Centre Court is as familiar and welcoming to Federer as his own living room. Others may freeze but not the mighty Fed. So it was somewhat of a surprise to see the cool, calm, collected maestro clock up ten unforced errors to help Hurkacz on his way in the first set. It was a sign of things to come.
Hurkacz had earlier defeated Daniil Medvedev in a five-set epic to meet Roger Federer in the quarterfinals of Wimbledon 2021. He had earlier registered victories over Bublik, Giron, and Musetti in his dream run at Wimbledon.
As the sun shone through the roof, the crowd did their best to gee up Federer. Instead it was Hurkacz who soaked up the noise, recovered from an early break and sent the set into a tie-break.
Rattled Federer totally misjudged a forehand volley and then slipped and failed to connect with another one. The Pole made the most of the opportunities.
Coming back from two sets down was always going to be a big call and Federer simply could not find a way against an opponent playing out of his skin. But that final 6-0 will really have hurt.
