LONDON: Roger Federer insists he will be back at Wimbledon in
2017 Dion
Phaneuf Senators Jersey , when he will be pushing 36, despite his
heartbreaking loss to Milos Raonic in Friday's (Jul 8) semi-finals.
The seven-time champion suffered a shock 6-3, 6-7 (37), 4-6,
7-5 Mike Condon
Senators Jersey , 6-3 defeat in a match where he crucially failed to
convert break points in the fifth and ninth games of the fourth set.
The great Swiss, who won the last of his 17 majors at Wimbledon four years
ago, looked heavy and flat-footed in the final set against a player who is nine
years his junior.
He even stumbled and fell in the fifth set, lying face down in the turf of
Centre Court where he has enjoyed his greatest moments.

""I hope to be back on Centre
Court Mark Stone
Senators Jersey , to be very clear for you,"" said Federer, whose lengthy
wave to all parts of the arena prompted speculation that it was indeed goodbye.
""I was looking at Centre Court as in thank you for the crowd. That's what I
was going through, not thinking about this might be my last Wimbledon.""
Had Federer made Sunday's final he would have been the oldest finalist since
39-year-old Ken Rosewall finished runner-up to Jimmy Connors in 1974.
His loss on Friday, in his 10th Wimbledon
semi-final Derick
Brassard Senators Jersey , followed a marathon five-set win from two sets
down to beat Marin Cilic in the quarter-finals.
This year's Wimbledon represented the 15th anniversary of his stunning win
over Pete Sampras - when Raonic was just 10 years old - although his first All
England Club title only arrived two years later.
But Federer is enduring the toughest year of his career. Injury forced him to
skip the French Open ending a streak of 65 successive appearances at the Slams
stretching back to 1999.
He has now failed to add to his 88 titles this year, his longest drought
since 2000, and he arrived at Wimbledon having suffered back-to-back semi-final
losses in Stuttgart and Halle, both on grass which has been his preferred
surface of domination.
'WIMBLEDON NOT EVERYTHING'
In an indication of changing times, his last-four loss in Stuttgart to
Alexander Zverev was his first against a teenager in 10 years.
The defeat to Raonic still leaves Arthur Ashe as the oldest Wimbledon men's
champion - and the American achieved that feat a month shy of his 32nd birthday
in 1975.
Federer Erik
Karlsson Senators Jersey , who underwent surgery earlier this year on the
same knee he hurt on Friday, will be 35 next month.
He had made the final at Wimbledon in 2014 and 2015 losing to world number
one Novak Djokovic on both occasions.
As the benchmark in the sport, Federer hasn't defeated the Serb at a Slam
since the Wimbledon semi-finals in 2012.
Wimbledon has always been Federer's home-from-home even if his first two
visits as a pony-tailed contender with a short fuse and dream one-handed
backhand ended in first round losses.
But his fourth round defeat of seven-time winner Sampras in 2001 marked him
out as the American's natural heir even if 2002 saw a woeful first round exit to
Mario Ancic.
That blip was forgotten 12 months later when he won his first Wimbledon,
spiking the heavy artillery of Mark Philippoussis in the final.
Since then, he has enjoyed more successes than setbacks. Federer won the
title every year between 2003 and
2007 Mike
Hoffman Youth Jersey , adding two more in 2009 and 2012.
In between, he lost the 2008 final to Rafael Nadal in what is widely-regarded
as the finest men's championship match in history, a five-set epic which ended
in semi-darkness.
However, there was also a shock second round exit to world number 116 Sergiy
Stakhovsky in 2013.
After his loss on Friday, he tried to take the pressure off the prospect that
an eighth Wimbledon title may remain out of reach.
Federer was looking instead to the Olympics and then the US
Open Jean-Gabriel
Pageau Youth Jersey , as long as the injury he picked up against Raonic
proves not to be serious.
""It's a dream to win my eighth here but it's not the only reason why I play
tennis, otherwise I'll go in a freeze box now and come out before Wimbledon next
year,"" he said.
""I know Wimbledon is important, but it's not everything. I have played 10
sets (against Cilic and Raonic). It's very encouraging for the season. I was
insecure coming into Wimbledon.""
