LONDON—Roger Federer’s dream of winning a record-equalling ninth Wimbledon title ended with a heartbreaking 6–3 7–6(4) 6–0 quarterfinal defeat by Poland’s Hubert Hurkacz on Wednesday.
Before this fortnight, 14th seed Hurkacz had won only four matches on turf but no one would have guessed his lack of grasscourt pedigree after witnessing the stupendous display he put in against his own childhood idol.
