FEDERER 3-6, 6-7(4), 0-6 HURKACZ: Roger Federer has never lost a set 6-0 at Wimbledon. He has now, and he is so gracious to Hurkacz at the net, smiling at him and offering a congratulatory hug. He heads off court, applauding the crowd and waving - and Hurkacz stands at the net applauding his opponent off. Lovely sportsmanship.
