Oh Roger!

Federer has mastered the grass court in
England, but has yet to even reach the
 semi-finals the last two years.

For the second straight year Roger Federer will not be playing for his seventh career Wimbledon title. Federer was ousted from the tournament Wednesday in five sets, 3-6, 6-7, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4, by French men Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.

It wasn't so much shocking that Federer won't be in the finals once again, like he is seemingly every year at the All England Club, but more how he lost.

The world's former No. 1 had won the first two sets and seemed to coasting to yet another semi-finals appearance. Tsonga never lost faith and fought all the way back, accomplishing something no other player has against Federer in a Grand Slam tournament.

Federer had been 178-0 when holding a commanding two-sets to none lead in a Grand Slam heading into Wednesdays' quarter-final match. That all came to a screaming halt when Tsonga did the impossible defeating a very passive Federer. It was not the first time the twelfth-seeded Tsonga had beaten Federer in dramatic fashion.

In August of 2009, Tsonga rallied from 5-1 down in a third set against Federer and eventually came back to win the set and match. Tsonga is also no stranger being down two-sets to none and make a great comeback. Wednesday marked the second time he had accomplished that feat in his young career.

For Federer, he has now not won a Grand Slam title in his last six chances matching the longest drought of his career before he won the first of his record 16 Grand Slam singles titles in 2003 on this very stage. It is the second straight year the six-time Wimbledon champion has lost in the quarter-finals.

It was the second time Tsonga had defeated
Federer in his career.

With Federer knocked out three of the top four seeds have now reached the semi-finals and are ready to begin battle. Rafael Nadal currently has 19-match winning streak at Wimbledon with him winning two of the last three. The defending champion was unable to defend his title in '09 due to suffering a knee injury causing him to pull out of competition.

Federer doesn't seem far removed from his reign as the world's No. 1 for a record 237 consecutive weeks, but it looks to be a changing of the guard. Move over Switzerland, the Spaniard has taken control.
