#1 Initial Rounds, Big Upsets
All Roger Federer fans know that the scariest part of any tournament for Federer is the initial rounds as it has been long known that Federer starts performing at his peak only once the rhythm is truly internalized during the course of the tournament. This is unlike Nadal or Djokovic who maintain a certain level of intensity from the initial round onwards.
In the past, this has not been a big issue as his level was always far higher than his opponents in the initial rounds. So the added unforced errors never amounted to much. In recent years with the explosion of a new wave of players, new generation tactics and physicality, Federer has had a hard time fending off every player is trying to make their mark in the making of a new tennis generation.
To study 2018, Federer lost to Kevin Anderson in Wimbledon, John Millman at the US Open, Borna Coric, 175th ranked Thanasi Kokkinakis.
The 2019 season has not been off to a great start as well with a round of 16 loss to Stefanos Tsitsipas who played brilliantly but it still seemed like Federer had so much more to offer in the match.
