Branded! Federer loses to Brands at Swiss Open

Roger Federer suffered a shocking loss today at the Credit Agricole Suisse Open, losing to the German Daniel Brands, 6-3, 6-4, in just over an hour.

It was the 17-time Grand Slam champion’s second loss in the last two weeks to someone ranked outside the Top 50, having lost to the Argentinian Federico Delbonis last week in Hamburg.

While some write the loss off to the Swiss star still adjusting to a new racquet, others see it as a sign of deeper troubles.
