He will face old comrade Stan Wawrinka, in what promises to be a ballet of single-handed backhands. The draw has been kind to Wawrinka. Quarterfinal opponent Daniil Medvedev succumbed to a sore shoulder. His retirement was inevitable after a packed North American schedule. Wawrinka\u2019s fourth-round opponent, too, looked far from his best. But who can blame Novak Djokovic? <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It hasn\u2019t been an easy few months for the defending champion. The \u201ccrazy eye\u201d is missing. The aura of invincibility has dimmed. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pov\/chronic-pain-illness-intimacy-cats-relationship\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mental fatigue<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is an underrated element of sport. It\u2019s the mind that pumps blood to the heart of elite athletes, not vice versa. You keep replaying a crucial point in your head \u2013 the one that has given you sleepless nights and crippling days \u2013 until you find a way to win it. You undo the mistake. And then you wake up, minutes before your 9645th practice session, knowing that you still lost. There is no escape. The flashbacks won\u2019t cease. Djokovic hasn\u2019t been the same since that Wimbledon final.\u00a0<\/span>\n\n<i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wimbledon final.\u00a0<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8-7 in the fifth, 40-15 on the Swiss serve. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/sports\/novak-djokovic-wimbledon-tennis\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Djokovic<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> expects a serve out wide. But Federer goes down the center. Net cord. Only just. A nervy second serve. A nervier inside-out forehand. 40-30. The gentlemanly spectators on Center Court have become raucous New Yorkers. You sense another error coming, another championship point going. But Federer breathes. He, very uncharacteristically, takes his time. He\u2019s been here before, but it feels like the first time. The noise fades out. He goes for a body serve. The Serb blocks it back. Roger Federer charges forward. Hearts enter mouths and knock at teeth like bad drop vollies. He swings for the corner, but doesn\u2019t get the angle. Djokovic is ready to pass him with a cross-court forehand. Collective breaths are held across the globe. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<\/span>\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/13.201.39.237\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/1567601037.jpg\" alt=\"Wimbledon 2019\" width=\"594\" height=\"396\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-54056\" \/>\n<figcaption>\n<p>The flashbacks won\u2019t cease.

The ball hits the frame of his racket. Limps off the net cord. Teases. And rolls across to the other side\u2026 like a bad drop volley. Djokovic grins sadly, like a man who has survived a plane crash only to be paralysed by a wet bathroom floor. Federer is torn between apologising and gesturing wildly to the heavens. Game, set, luck. Humankind exhales; a two-degree rise in global temperature is reported. Mirka is ecstatic, London is loud. For the first time, Federer overcomes <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/sports\/roger-federer-fan-rafael-nadal-2019-french-open-semifinal\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nadal<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and Djokovic back-to-back to win a Grand Slam title. Suddenly, every young tennis fan wants a pet GOAT.\u00a0<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">News travels fast. It reaches Lord\u2019s. A collective gasp rings out in the ground while Ben Stokes is batting. Martin Guptill, standing in the deep, feels a surge of calm when he hears about 37-year-old Federer. For a fleeting moment, he forgets about his own wretched tournament. He doesn\u2019t try to run Stokes out in the last over. The ball settles in the quizzical keeper\u2019s gloves. 7 off 2. Stokes only manages a single off the next Boult yorker. 6 off 1. Rashid swings. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/sports\/india-vs-new-zealand-the-forever-underdogs-world-cup\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">New Zealand<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> win the World Cup by 4 runs. The stadium goes silent.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As Federer fields questions in the winner\u2019s press conference, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/sports\/kane-williamson-new-zealand-captain-england-world-cup-loss\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kane Williamson<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> walks up to a shattered Stokes and helps him to his feet. They embrace. Williamson asks reporters to give some space to Stokes. Djokovic tells reporters that he threw everything at the man with 21 Grand Slam titles. Three weeks later, on August 8, Federer brings in his birthday with Williamson. The two meet for a photo-op in Dubai during their month-long victory lap. The picture goes viral. The trophies look similar. The men sound similar.\u00a0<\/span>\n\n<blockquote class=\"quote--center\"><p>Federer\u2019s curse is that he can never play for redemption; he hasn\u2019t failed enough for that.<\/p><\/blockquote> \n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can\u2019t blame Federer fans for living in an alternate-reality universe since July 14. We keep replaying that crucial point in our head \u2013 the one that has given us sleepless nights and crippling days \u2013 until we find a way to win it. We undo his mistake. And then we wake up, minutes before our 9645th working day, knowing that he still lost. There is no escape. The flashbacks won\u2019t cease. Federer hasn\u2019t been the same since that Wimbledon final.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What if he had won the \u201908 final? Melbourne \u201909? Wimbledon \u201915? It speaks volumes about Federer that in a career full of historic triumphs, it\u2019s the historic defeats that will be remembered. Because he keeps playing. He keeps coming back for more. He didn\u2019t die a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/sports\/ramakant-achrekar-sachin-tendulkar-cricket-coach-mumbai\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">God<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">; he lived long enough to become human. And he goes deep enough to fall \u2013 in the quarters, semis, finals, at championship point, at the brink of immortality. At every stage he dominated when he was younger. Earlier he was just a chunk of beautiful flesh carving his way across courts and collecting trophies for fun. Now there is flesh <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> blood. Now there is a body \u2013 flailing, performing, grieving. He bleeds, like an everyman capable of flashing glimpses of genius. He scars, like a journeyman whose comeback is repeatedly cut short. When he wins, there is a sound to the silent imagery of his game. When he wins, it is against time and tide. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sometimes he loses \u2013 his mind, rhythm, form, cool. Sometimes he is beaten, by players who need to win. Grigor Dimitrov <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">needed<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to win on Tuesday night. Federer\u2019s curse is that he can never play for redemption; he hasn\u2019t failed enough for that. Dimitrov, the forgotten child of Generation Next, had lost six out of seven matches heading into the US Open. When Federer replays the match in his head, he might realise that there was no single point that could have altered his immediate future. There were 64 separate points, 64 separate unforced errors: Some at triple breakpoint, some at 0-0 in the fourth, but all at love for the game.\u00a0<\/span>\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/13.201.39.237\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/1567601038.jpg\" alt=\"US Open 2019\" width=\"594\" height=\"396\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-54055\" \/>\n<figcaption>\n<p>Instead, in our little universe, Federer is now a match away from facing Nadal in their first ever US Open final. <\/p>\n<p>Tim Clayton\/Corbis via Getty Images<\/p>\n<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He was a set away from facing an in-form Medvedev in the semis. Instead, in our little universe, Federer is now a match away from facing Nadal in their first ever US Open final. Again. And then we wake up to remember: If he had won that \u201908 final, the hunger would have changed. A French Open might have forever eluded him. He would have kept at it \u2013 on clay \u2013 until his body aged faster. And the \u201916 <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/gender\/coming-out-transperson-surgery-suicide-india-lgbt-community\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">surgery<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> would have ended his career. Which is why Dimitrov, a player who has modelled his entire game on Federer\u2019s, fights back in the 2019 US Open men\u2019s quarterfinal. Inspired by memories of a 19-year-old boy beating his childhood idol Pete Sampras on Center Court in 2001, Dimitrov wins in five sets. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<\/span>\n\n<i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is our little universe. Roger Federer\u2019s entire career has been a universe of alternate realities. His life has already been directed by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pop-culture\/once-upon-a-time-in-hollywood-movie-review\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Quentin Tarantino<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. July 14 was part of our dream. The nightmares lend blood to the flesh of this dream. Because one morning, we might really wake up. The year will be 2003. A pony-tailed Federer walks onto Center Court. His opponent is Mark Philippoussis. And Federer is broken to love. <\/span>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You can\u2019t blame Roger Federer fans for living in an alternate-reality universe.
