Well all those who thought the Swiss and World no.2 to make headlines by winning the ATP Halle / Gerry Weber Open tennis championship would have been awe struck when the heard the news otherwise. Yes it was Tommy Haas who made headlines instead by winning over the Swiss in simple straight sets 7-6, 6-4.
It seems the continuous playing has taken its toll over the major tennis stars as after Nadal was ousted from Halle, Federer too could not come to the grips of green green grass after lot of playing on red and blue clay.
Had Federer won Sunday, he would have broken his own very record of winning Halle for the sixth time - but it was not to be so.
Haas who has won Halle once before in 2009 was not being favoured at all for Sunday's win but has surely had a deep impact on Federer's preparations for the Wimbledon which starts in just over a week's time.
