Roger Federer put in a lackluster display against the young Canadian and was ousted in three sets. The Swiss arrived two hours late to his post-match press conference and claimed he was displeased with his efforts and attitude on the court.
The Swiss, who underwent two surgeries on his knee in 2020 that kept him out of action for close to a year, is battling to rekindle his best form heading into Wimbledon, which begins on June 28.
Andy Murray, who has had his fair share of injury problems in recent years, sympathized with the Swiss and asserted it was never easy to make a comeback after such a long layoff.

But the former World No. 1 believes Roger Federer will iron out the kinks in his game heading into Wimbledon.
