The six time Wimbledon champion Roger Federer was eliminated in the Wimbledon quarterfinals for the second straight year wednesday losing to Jo-Wilfried Tsonga 3-6, 6-7 (3), 6-4, 6-4, 6-4.The Swiss star barely looked challenged while winning the first two sets against the 12th-seeded Frenchman.But Federer, who had been 178-0 in matches in which he had won the opening two sets at a major tournament, was broken one time in each of the last three sets."It's kind of hard going out of the tournament that way, but unfortunately it does happen sometimes, at least it took him sort of a special performance to beat me, which is somewhat nice."" said Federer.Federer may be right. The 16-time Grand Slam champion finished the match with only 11 unforced errors, half as many as Tsonga, but it didn't help him get close to breaking Tsonga's serve when he needed it.In the next round, Tsonga will face second-seeded Novak Djokovic, who defeated 18-year-old Australian qualifier Bernard Tomic 6-2, 3-6, 6-3, 7-5.
