Question

Roger Federer lost to Radek Stepanek today. Is this considered one of the greatest tennis upsets ever?

Answer 1

no...Rafa was a bigger shocker.

Answer 2

no.

Answer 3

Uh, not as big as his loss to then 98th-ranked Mardy Fish in Indian Wells.  Nor was it as much of a shocker as Nadal's loss to Ferrero, even with the blister.  Federer's lost 6 times already this year, so it shouldn't come as that much of a surprise.

Answer 4

yeah... its very close... fed losing in 2 consecutive tiebreaks... but i think nadal's lost is also one.. but i know nadal has a blister so its okay.. hope he's okay

Answer 5

No. I feel Nadal`s loss was a greater upset! Vamos Rafa

Answer 6

I don't think its one of the greatest for Federer, I mean think about the time when Mardy Fish ranked #98 beat Federer.  In tennis overall I still don't think it was a really big upset...one of the biggest so far was when Tsonga beat Nadal at the Aussie Open.

Answer 7

Have you gone mental? Why is that one of the greatest upsets? Clay is Federer's least favorite surface and Stepanek was a former Top-10 player. It's not like Federer never lost to Stepanek before. After this match, their face to face record on clay is 2-2. Do some research before posting questions. Don't waste our time. Do you even follow tennis or are you one of those wannabes..........

Answer 8

I don't think so. Rafa's loss was more of a shocker to me.

Answer 9

Not even close.

Answer 10

NO...dont be retarded

Answer 11

Not at all. It's barely all that shocking. Probably when Fed lost to Canas at Miami and Indian wells, but even that was probably not the GREATEST tennis upset.

Answer 12

no

Answer 13

Yes.  The commentators covering these matches for The Tennis Channel was saying toward the end of the coverage for the day that Stepanek beating Federer was a pretty big upset.  I would say it's one of the biggest.

That score was pretty close too.  It was 7-6, 7-6.
