Federer loss continues shock exits at Roland Garros

Two days after making French Open history Roger Federer is bidding farewell to Roland Garros after being dumped out by Ernests Gulbis, who fought back from a set down to claim what he described as the biggest win of his career.

Federer reached the fourth round here for a record 12th time with his victory over Dmitry Tursunov on Friday, but the 2009 winner will be going no further after in-form Gulbis claimed a 6-7 (5/7) 7-6 (7/3) 6-2 4-6 6-3 victory on Philippe Chatrier Court.
