So Far.. for Roger Federer

Failing to snatch that sixth Wimbledon victory may have caused Roger Federer more pain than we seem to believe.

The number 1 player is now out of the Cincinnati Masters after losing to Croatian Ivo Karlovic. He was first defeated by Gilles Simon in the second round of the tournament. He won in his next match, against Robby Ginepri. But his latest loss booted him out of the tournament.

His position as World no. 1 is also threatened, now more than ever. His losses and Rafael Nadal's victories are speedily closing the gap between them. Nadal is set to overtake Federer and get the top rank if he continues to win the Cincinnati Masters.
