Dream come true for Roger Federer executioner Hubert Hurkacz | Tennis

sport">“Roger congratulated me and wished me luck for the upcoming matches. It was only when I walked off the track that I realized I had beaten him. It’s a dream come true, especially here on the grass at Wimbledon. The presence of the audience made it extra special.”

sport">Federer, eight-time Wimbledon winner, never reached his normal level. The 39-year-old Swiss made mistakes and didn’t get into the game at all. He has never lost a set 6-0 at Wimbledon before.

sport">“I tried to believe in myself throughout the game and to play as aggressively as possible,” said Hurkacz. “Of course I was a bit nervous, because I played against Roger in a quarter-final of a Grand Slam tournament. That’s really a thing for me. I tried to stay as calm as I could.”

sport">The 24-year-old Hurkacz is working on a fantastic tournament. In the eighth finals, he already sent home the number two in the world, Daniil Medvedev. In the semifinals, the Pole will face Matteo Berrettini, who defeated Botic van de Zandschulp in the second round.
