Roger Federer, #1 for a record 235 weeks in a row, lost 7-6(5) 4-6 7-6(5) to 6'10 Ivo Karlovic of Croatia today at the Cincinatti AMS Masters and will most likely lose his #1 ranking on Monday August 4th to Rafael Nadal of Spain. Nadal is on a 30 match winning streak and has won 7 of the last 8 tournaments he entered. If he wins his 13th ATP Masters shield on Sunday, he will also become #1.

What a sad day, and, to a player who has no chance of winning the whole thing. I really am going to have to look for a new sport to follow as none of these other guys interest me at all since they don't have the flair and grace of Roger, or class :(.
