His best was to come against Lorenzo Sonego as Federer defeated the No 23 seed in little over two hours.
Hurkacz, while proving to be a talent on the tour, shouldn’t have been an issue for Federer if the 39-year-old had any hopes of being a true contender for a Grand Slam title again.
But the 24-year-old stunned Centre Court into silence as he came out firing against the former world No 1.

Hurkacz needed less than two hours to knock the 20-time Grand Slam champion out of his favoured major.
And with it, he may have also ended Federer’s final hope of adding to his Grand Slam tally.
