It had to happen, sad news. Hot off the press - Federer loses. His opponent is somewhat of a giant beater, by knocking Nadal out of the French last year, Robin Soderling looked awesome on court. Federer was unable to get into the points to really cause him much trouble. There was a brief scare when Federer broke Soderlings serve in the 4th set but he immediately broke back and in some style. The peak in the graph is when Federer took the first set but then it was all Soderling and the price just shortened. Normally this is where you would lay the short price looking for Federer to rally, but watching the tennis it just didn't look that likely to come so I didn't put anything on. I just watched in shock and awe as he was just outplayed. Absolutely amazing. Those who enjoy Murray doing well will be happy to know that Tomas Berdych has just gone through in straight sets which will be of some comfort to know he is in good form!

What with Theo Walcott and Adam Johnson being named NOT to go to the world cup today there have been a number of shocks. Or more to the point, taking Heskey with them!
Sadly Federer's exit means he won't be getting his run of 24 consecutive grand slam semi-finals.
