Is Roger Federer On The Decline? Federer Loses In Halle Germany To Lleyton Hewitt!

Lleyton Hewitt of Australia scored a major upset today he defeated Roger Federer of Switzerland 3-6 7-6 6-4 in the finals of the Gerry Weber Open. Hewitt broke a fifteen match losing streak to Federer, this is the first time he’s beaten Federer since 2003.

Roger had a chance to win the match in the second set tiebreaker, but he blew it! Last week, at the French Open Robin Soderling snapped Federer’s grand slam semifinal streak.

Now  Hewitt has broken Federer’s twenty nine match winning streak at the Gerry Weber open! I feel Roger hasn’t performed to his potential since he won the Australian Open earlier this year. Is Roger Federer on the decline? I feel Roger’s intensity has declined a bit because he has accomplished so much in his incredible tennis career.
