Roger out of Toronto...
Wow...shocking loss today by Roger Federer who once again did not look like himself in the Rogers Cup as he lost his opening match to French Gilles Simon 2-6, 7-5, 6-4 after a few rain delays.Gilles Simon was coming off a title last week in Indianapolis and many suggested he would be tired and may not fare much of a chance against the top ranked Swiss.Not that Simon did not play well, but we have to be honest, Roger was not up to expectations. He looked flat, missed numerous forehands and could not adjust to come back...This is a huge upset and raises the question if pressure is finally getting to Federer as Nadal closes in to the #1 ranking in the world...i'm heading to Toronto tomorrow evening and will be watching the quarterfinals live from the Rogers Cup so seeing Roger be taken out like this is certainly disapointing but what is there to do right?
