As we speak, Roger Federer finds himself down two sets to one, and is currently in the fourth set of his match against Julien Benneteau (32).

The last time Federer was eliminated in the third round was in the 2004 Roland Garros. 

Since then, the earliest Federer has been bounced from Grand Slam competition was in Roland Garros 2009 where he made it all the way to the Quarterfinals.

Not a bad resume to have right?

On Thursday, Wimbledon saw its 2nd ranked player, Rafael Nadal get eliminated from the tournament after losing to no. 100 ranked player Lukas Rosol.

Nadal's defeat was a sign to players that  rankings really do not mean anything. It comes down to the player who executes the best and who possesses the best set of skills. Of course, at times, luck has to be on your side.

If Federer loses, that means Novak Djokovic could be the clear favorite to win the Wimbledon title in 2012.
