Roger Federer is one of the most composed players on tour. However, he can also lose his temper during a match like everyone else, and that is what has happened against Gael Monfils.
Federer vs. his frustration
After a fantastic first set when Roger demolished Monfils (6-0), the Swiss was struggling with his tennis from the middle part of the 2nd set when he lost 5 consecutive games. The world no.3 was also disturbed by a huge shadow caused by the roof, and at a certain point after being broken he threw a ball in the sky full of frustration.
Even Roger can lose his patience… at least after that, he won the match.
