Roger Federer feels 'just awful' after Wimbledon defeat
On Wednesday, Federer was stunned by South African Kevin Anderson 2-6, 6-7, 7-5, 6-4, 13-11 to miss out on a potential 21st Grand Slam title.
After playing at Wimbledon, Federer usually opts to take a few weeks off the tour and return for the Masters 1000 hard court double header before the US Open and that is likely to be the case again this year.
Federer is currently on the player list for the Rogers Cup in Toronto, Canada, which begins on August 6. He is a two-time champion but his last victory was 12 years ago.

The 36-year-old would then travel to Cincinnati for the Western and Southern Open which begins on August 11.
And after those events Federer will prepare for the US Open, which starts on August 27.
Speaking after his defeat to Anderson, Federer said he was unsure how long it would take to get over the loss.
He said: “Yeah, I don't know how long it's going to take me.

“Yeah, of course, the goal is to come back here next year. I wouldn't call it 'unfinished business'.
“I felt like I did some good business here in the past already (smiling). So I'm all right. Just disappointed now.”
