Federer Embarrassed By Child

Rodger Federer may well be the most successful tennis player in the history of the men's game but in recent years his waning powers have led him to some surprising losses.

On Tuesday the 17 time Grand Slam winner took on Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov in an exhibition match in New York, at Madison Square Garden, and found himself on the end of another loss to the player who so resembles the Swiss legend's playing style that he was dubbed 'Baby Fed' when he first joined the circuit.
Despite the loss it wasn't Dimitrov who embarrassed Federer. Instead that moment came from a young boy who the Bulgarian invited on court to play a point against the 'Fed Express'. The child then succeeded in lobbing Federer in a brilliant manner.

Federer, who has a poor 0-3 record against Dimitrov in competitive matches, wasn't in too bad a mood after the match saying; "'I really struggled for some time today,'' Federer said. ''We did have some great shots. I thought it was actually a pretty high level match at the end of the day.''

That said Federer did manage to play the shot of the match. Returning a shot through Dimitrov's legs that looked certain to be a winner Federer pulled off a similar shot in return but this time won the point.
